Thanks to George for taking the huge risk that led to the creation of the best comedy ever! Beatles AND Monty Python - two great cultural icons he made major contributions to bring to public consciousness! What a great, great man he was.
George not only helped change music forever, he helped change comedy forever by supporting the Pythons. Thank you George. Thank you Eric.
Great photo. Also I'm so glad you're here now, must admit I missed you back over on the Dead Bird Site.
Yes and a huge thank you from strangers across the globe who might not have even been born yet but continue to enjoy the comedy and music. As we instill it into our children's lives as well.

I wish George was here to celebrate that 50 yrs with you. Your friendship was like a platonic romance. Relationships like that are so precious and rare. It reminds me that it'll be 49 yrs this Sept since my late bestie and I "met" as tween pen pals, partially bc of you, partially bc of George, 2
Well, you know: All You Need Is Cash 😉
ADDENDUM: Someone mentioned George Harrison’s ROTO-ROOTER T-shirt in this #photograph on #ThePlatformKnownPreviouslyAsTwitter, so here’s the jingle for historical perspective. #GeorgeHarrison #Harrison #RotoRooter #JustDoIt #OliviaGarrison #EricIdle #Idle #slogan www.rotorooter.com/plumbing-vid...
#HappyAnniversary, Eric & Liv! @ericidle.bsky.social, #Nike introduced its “Just Do It” trademark in 1988, but let’s be honest, #GeorgeHarrison coined the #JustDoIt phrase in a September 1982 interview with #ISKCON leader Mukunda Goswami. See line 3 of #Harrison’s reply in this screen grab. 1/2
Thank you for sharing!
It still astounds me that I can hear the personal history of iconic cultural creators directly from one of them. What an incredible honor.
I guess we have to say thank you, too.
