OFF:Re: George Harrison R.I.P.

[Mark Von Bargen]

George's death is very sad. As a fellow scouser, I just wonder how the
media will treat this in comparison to John Lennon's death a few years
ago.
George was obviously not as high profile as John and didn't contribute
quite as many songs to the world. However, he did live most of his post
Beatles life with a dignity that JL probably would not have even
recognised. I just wonder how much that attack in his home a couple of
years ago contributed to the accelerated decline of his health.

Coincidentally, it was reported recently in our local press that his
attacker, Michael Abram, may potentially be released very soon - usual
stories of how society and the medical system have failed him. Knowing
the background it is another case of a person and their close community
looking to blame everybody else for something that they, themselves, are
responsible for.
George's death demonstrates that society and the medical system will
still fail you eventually, no matter how much money you have.

Respect,

Mark
