i had no idea george harrison wrote "something" - i put that on a mixtape i made for a bubble bath - it's one of those especially sexy relaxing beautiful songs.

i'm very sad about george, but i think it's not completely about "george" - i liked him very much and saw him as the handsome one in the background who sang sometimes and was maybe the most musically talented - but it just makes me think of how huge the beatles are and how important they are and now half of them is gone - and in a couple more decades the other half will be gone and then they'll just be this memory. and so i cried a little today. because i think he's the first musician that i've cared about that's died in my lifetime. i wasn't alive for john, i wasn't aware for kurt. so i've been listening to the beatles all day and it makes me happy and sad - but it's nice to be sad about something sweetly for a change. i had no problem with george, i wish he wasn't gone, there's nowhere to go from here but up. i get to remember fondly and not wish i'd done things differently or any of that. sweet george, i smile softly at his picture on my bedroom wall. "something" really is a great song.
