Origins of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', "The Eastern concept is that whatever happens is all meant to be ... every little item that's going down has a purpose. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was a simple study based on that theory ... I picked up a book at random, opened it, saw "gently weeps", then laid the book down again and started the song." Says the legendary George Harrison about the song. Harrison wrote "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" after his return from India, where the Beatles had been studying Transcendental Meditation under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi during the spring of 1968. The visit had allowed Harrison to re-engage with the guitar as his primary instrument, after focusing on the Indian sitar for the previous two years, and also marked the start of a prolific period for him as a songwriter. Inspiration for the song came to him when he was visiting his parents in Warrington, Cheshire, and he began reading the I Ching, or "The Book of Changes". As Harrison put it, "[the book] seemed to me to be based on the Eastern concept that everything is relative to everything else, as opposed to the Western view that things are merely coincidental." Embracing this idea of relativism, he committed to writing a song based on the first words he saw upon opening a book, which happened to be "gently weeps". Harrison continued to work on the lyrics after this initial writing session. During a ride from Surrey into London, Harrison asked Clapton to play guitar on the track. Clapton, who recognised Harrison's talent as a songwriter, and considered that his abilities had long been held back by Lennon and McCartney, was nevertheless reluctant to participate; he later recalled that his initial response was: "I can't do that. Nobody ever plays on Beatles records." Harrison convinced him, and Clapton's lead guitar part, played on Harrison's Gibson Les Paul electric guitar "Lucy" (a recent gift from Clapton), was overdubbed that evening. Recalling the session in his 2007 autobiography, Clapton says that, while Lennon and McCartney were "fairly non-committal", he thought the track "sounded fantastic", adding: "I knew George was happy, because he listened to it over and over in the control room." Peter Frampton and Eric Clapton performing 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' live at Crossroads, in 2019.

George Stephanopoulos was warned repeatedly to not use the word rape in regards to Trump. He chose to ignore the advice 10 separate times: Megyn Kelly: "Breaking this morning in The New York Post that according to them, George Stephanopoulos was warned by his executive producer not to use the word rape in describing what a jury had found Trump civilly liable for that his producer had said to him it it was not rape. Don't call it rape. And it appears he ignored that advice. It just shows the depths of hatred, like Fannie Willis that George Stephanopoulos has for Trump. Stephanopoulos was repeatedly told by his executive producer not to use the word rape before going on air, but the ABC News anchor ignored the warning this week's producer, because he said this on a Sunday show said don't use the word rape. A second source at the show listen to this confirmed via a text message viewed by the Post that Stephanopoulos was warned not to say rape. So this post has since some sort of text message in which a second source somehow confirms that George was told not to say rape. I don't want to hear one more word from anybody about why did ABC News settle? You know, people think they had a shot at winning. First of all, they didn't because it's very clear he wasn't found civilly liable for rape. But second of all, you've got the EP saying I told him not to do it, and he insisted on doing it ten times." Ironic that George was the one who ignored the consent. Corroborates what we already knew: ABC would gladly pay 15 million dollars for the public to not know the depths of their corruption and bias towards Trump.

In 2007, during his “25 Live” tour, George Michael experienced one of the funniest and most surreal moments of his career. The singer was arriving by car at Wembley Stadium in London to perform one of his concerts (he was one of the first artists to perform at the newly renovated Wembley) As he tried to enter through the back gate with his crew, a very serious and confident security guard blocked his way. The guard, leaning into the car window, insisted: “I’m sorry, I’d recognize him a mile away, and that’s not George Michael.” George, sitting in the back seat, couldn’t stop laughing. The guard remained completely convinced that he was an imposter and even asked for identification before letting him through. A member of George’s team had to step in to pull the guard aside and explain the situation. In the video recorded for the documentary *George Michael: Road to Wembley*, George is seen cracking up and saying, “This is brilliant,” as he mimics the guard: “I’d recognize him a mile away, and that’s not George Michael.” He later said it was one of the best stories that had ever happened to him, comparable to when a doorman in Birmingham told him, “I don’t care if you’re Frank Sinatra, you’re not getting in.” It was a moment of pure comedy that shows just how ironic fame can be. One of the world’s most recognizable artists being treated like a fan trying to sneak in. The guard, of course, became an internet legend years later when the clip resurfaced. George, with his usual sense of humor, took it all in stride and even included it in the documentary.
