George Harrison is dead and gone, may he rest in peace. When he was a Beatle, he was always in the considerable shadow of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. And he sometimes wanted more of his own songs on their albums. But once they broke up, he put out plenty of albums with plenty of songs. Most of the albums were a bit uneven but all had some good songs on them. Then, in the 90s, on his “comeback” album Cloud Nine, he took a musical look back at his time in the “Fab Four”. This song, “When We Was Fab”, is the result. The video has his characteristic clever humor and the song is pretty darned catchy too. He was fab.

Speaking of dead Beatles. You should get to the SFMOMA and check out Candice Breitz. His video installation “Working Class Hero (A Portrait of John Lennon)” is amazing. Twenty-five John Lennon fans simultaneously singing along to his first solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, from beginning to end on twenty-five screens, without the music.
