http://www.atlasf1.com/grapevine/2001/nov/report.php/id/504/.html Stewart Mourns George Harrison's Death Friday November 30th, 2001 Three-time Formula One World Champion Jackie Stewart has paid tribute to ex-Beatle George Harrison, who died on Thursday after losing a long battle against cancer. The guitarist known as "the quiet Beatle" - a big fan of Formula One racing - died at a friend's home in Los Angeles at the age of 58 on Thursday with his wife Olivia and son Dhani at his side, succumbing to the cancer that overshadowed his last years. Stewart, whose son Paul and wife Helen suffer from cancer too, was a close friend to the musician. "It is a sad day," Stewart told Radio Five. "It is always a shame, and is never easy, when the final curtain comes down. George was a remarkable man and, more than anything, was a deep and valued friend. My family was close to him - my sons and wife spent a lot of time close to him at his home - and of course, he loved motorsport. "I think George understood life, and he understood death. He was a deep man, and looked at things at a different way to most people in this life. More than anything, he will, of course, be remembered for his music, but I will remember him for other reasons."

Дополню: в песне Faster Джордж играет и на бас-гитаре. Jackie Stewart (Scotland) - трехкратный чемпион Формула 1. Основатель команды Stewart. Niki Lauda (Austria) - трехкратный чемпион Формула 1. В 1976 во время Гран При Германии (или Европы???) попал в ужасную аварию, машина горела. После операции по пересадке кожи и ампутации уха вернулся в гонки и в следующем году завоевал звание чемпиона.

http://autopilot.kommersant.ru/Issues/Auto/2004/09/118.html Несмотря на репутацию буяна и нигилиста, Лауду (трехкратный чемпион Формула 1. прим. - Elicaster) почему-то очень любил вполне романтичный и мирный битл Джордж Харрисон. Музыкант кроме всего прочего гонял на машинах и коллекционировал их. Так что нет ничего странного в том, что во флоте авиакомпании Lauda Air есть пассажирский самолет Boeing 737-8Z9 по имени George Harrison, который сохранил свое название после смены собственника фирмы. А Харрисон в 1977 написал про Лауду песню Faster (диск George Harrison) с финальными строчками "и немногие осмелились осуществить свою мечту быстрее пули".

Альбом "George Harrison" Dark Horse K 56562 Release date: 6th February 1979 Faster
Chose a life in circuses Jumped into the deepest end Pushing himself to all extremes Made it - people became his friend.
Now they stood and noticed him Wanted to be part of it Pulled out some poor machinery So he worked 'til the pieces fit.
The people were intrigued His wife held back her fears The headlines gave acclaim He'd realized their dreams.
Faster than a bullet from a gun He is faster than everyone Quicker than the blinking of an eye Like a flash you could miss him going by No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say He's the master of going faster.
Now he moved into the space That the special people share Right on the edge of do or die Where there is nothing left to spare.
Still the crowds came pouring in Some had hoped to see him fail Filling their hearts with jealousies Crazy people with love so frail.
No need to wonder why His wife held back her fears So few have even tried To realize their dreams. Faster than a bullet.
Instruments & additional info.: Inspired by Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda and dedicated to the entire Formula One circus. Special thanks to Jody Scheckter. In memory of Ronnie Peterson. The song was written on 20th November 1977. The racing heard at the start of the song was recorded at the British Grand Prix of 1978 on July 16th.

George Harrison. Сингл Faster / Your Love Is Forever Label Dark Horse Catalogue No. K 17423 Country of Origin England Release Date 30th July 1979 U.K. Chart Detail : Failed to Chart Detail : George's thirteenth solo single. This was the third single to be taken from the "George Harrison" L.P. and was the first picture disc single for George. In 1978 the Swedish Motor Racer, Gunnar Nilsson died of cancer. This single was released by George to assist in raising money for the "Gunnar Nilsson Cancer Fund", unfortunately I doubt this record helped the cause to much extent as it failed to chart. - The picture disc features the faces of nine legendary Grand Prix racing drivers, firm heroes of George`s in his passion for the sport. From the top, and reading clockwise you can see above, Fangio (Arg) - The oldest ever World Champion at 46 and champ 5 times. He had 24 race wins, amassing 278 points from 1950-1958. - Jackie Stewart (UK) - World Champion 3 times, 27 race wins, amassing 360 points from 1965-1973. - Niki Lauda (Aut) - World Champion 3 times, 25 race wins, amassing 420.5 points from 1971-1985. - Jochen Rindt (Aut) - The only ever posthumous World Champion, in 1970 aged 28.

The Cheatles и засвеченно-ослеплённый, но довольный :-) Английский завтрак (2 яйца, 2 бекона, 2 сосиски, 2 тоста) сделал своё дело: поправился килограмма на 3-4. Этакий медвежонок :-)
To: Ram On The Run Именно из-за "but it does have a highly interesting front cover photo, which is rarely seen elsewhere" У меня есть этот диск и я всегда удивлялся этой фотки: никогда ничего подобного не видел.
This east german LP record can be found with at least two different track lists, this one has several Polydor tracks included among tracks from Please Please Me and With The Beatles. The legality of this record is dubious, but it does have a highly interesting front cover photo, which is rarely seen elsewhere.
