@darkhorsegeorge Or what? Did you know that Mark David Chapman's parents were very close with the Bush's? Bush, at the time head of the cia that was avid in mind control operations. Its called MK Ultra, look it up. This has been used to make killers for some time now.
@kringles4 I did not know that, but would not suprise me at all. It would also show that there is no difference between rep and dem. Both have been fed by the military since they were able to get rid of guys like IKE. Obamma, Clinton,Carter...they are just as evil as the ones playing the evil roles.
Man!! It's already one decade since he left us. How sad that is. Specially becasue he's both my favorite artist ever AND the first celebrity I admire whose death I "witnessed".
George's music has so much love. Thats what's important. Love others and yourself. This music isnt here for you to argue. Its here for you to absorb. If you dont like it then stop listening. However, great music ain't it? I love it!
@LisaAyala7 But the Lord takes many names and forms-we Sufis say "Allow us to recognize Thee in all Thy holy names and forms-as Rama, as Krishna, as Shiva, as Buddha. Let us know Thee as Solomon, as Zarathustra, as Moses, as Jesus, as Mohammed, and in many other names and forms, known and unknown to the world."
@LisaAyala7 george's religion was a big part of his life, it would simply be abnormal if he didn't write about it. now I'm a tremendous fan of george's and I don't think anyone will ever exceed him as a songwriter, but some of the things he did irritate me, he was mildly arrogant when it came to religion, and he thought it was more universal than it actually is. even though I think he over did it a bit with his religion, if he didn't write about it, he wouldn't be an artist.
@ledZeppelin7680 At his best he wrote about it subtly, or even endearlingly, right? Nice stuff like My Sweet Lord, Isn't it a Pity, Give Me Love, etc.
At his "worst" it was very preachy. But he tried to do something that's not too easy: write about spirituality in rock and roll. As a modern songwriter, I thought he did much better than many of those awful modern "Contemporary Christian" groups who just pound you with it in the worst ways.
@Allen2saint the thing is that there is a way to write about things like religion and not ruin the song for everyone who isn't religious. I can listen to ''long, long long'' all day and never think twice about what I'm hearing. I know what it's about, but he doesn't sound like such a lunatic as he does in, say, ''awaiting on you all''. and it's not just his writing, george did a lot of little things that were really quite arrogant. like ''saying all you need is love'' is about god.
@ledZeppelin7680 I understand your POV, but there's no stipulation that rock songs have to be about any subject. 99.7% of rock and roll is about romance, having fun, sex, some topical protesty stuff. If Harrison wants to sing about spirituality its his business. He's only one voice in the chorus. His music gave me a big lift when I needed it. I can forgive him his preachy stuff. It was his truth and he expressed it. He was the most sophisticated haromically and rhythmically of the 4 as well.
The backing vocals sound like Ringo (singing 'God, God, God') and, later in the song, Paul (singing 'Brainwashed') - yet they're not credited. Anyone know for sure?
@LisaAyala7 George never wanted to brainwash anyone. He suggested that we look beyond materialism, but never tried to force anyone to think the way he did ... that would have been totally counter to his personality.
OK, I like George Harrison's work. He's a gifted and talented songwriter, who wrote many, many songs. And if you were to list all of his songs from best to worst, some songs would be nearer to the bottom of the list than the top. This is one of the songs that are closer to the bottom of his list than the top. But that's not to say it's a bad song, or that Harrison wasn't extremely talented. It's just that this one isn't as good as most of his other songs.
@60schickisaDUDE, it is you who "dream" of running his worthless mouth, posting illiterate attempt at scribble, one after another, without getting his sickeningly ignorant gob slapped. Hey, white trash, do you really think that would would believe that an uneducated boor such as yourself could survive sans the government's largess, without the money your catamite mother brings in from selling her fat behind to every Meth-head ? Your low-rent, low-class status shows, piggy. FACT.
LOL The Grinch17 has voluntarily suspended his own account because of heavy "troll" activity. Far more likely is that Blankfrack has finally bit off more than he can chew. He now has WAY too many screen names to manage and has to jettison what he can. Funny how Mrangemystere seems to have abandoned this name in the same fashion. Such strange goings on...
@TwoUselessLegs, "Far more likely is" that you and your trolling friends and alter (ed) egos have whithered under the relentless ripostes, all highlighting your ignorance, slander, racism, and militant stupidity. Last I read, your nemesis, Mrange, slapped your creepy faces red, raw, and ripped. Consider this follow-up by the like-minded. Cry, NOB, cry, but "such strange goings on"...your deserved beat-downs...won't ever quit.

And I walk, run, skip, hop, dance, sneer, laugh, mock, skewer, at your expense, that is when I am not slapping your obtuse self into oblivion. Fact. Were I confined to a wheel chair, I would still run you down like the squealing mouse that you are. Hey, hillbilly, you've been clocked and your lights cleaned out, yet again. Laughter is rising, piggy, the laughter is rising.
@60schickisaDUDE, you're not like a broken record at all. You are, instead, an ignorant, ugly little hillbilly with no prospects and only your failures to champion. You are so much the more acquainted with all things about "queers" and "faggots," crippled as you are by your own "best-known" longings in that way. How you prattle on, palpably excited to make certain one and all hears about your orientation's "differences." Lights out, piggy.
@60schickisaDUDE, yes, I will continue to correct your incompetence in grammar, and remind you of what an illiterate, unlettered, and uneducated creep you are. You are so "impressed," as you know that in every possible way, you are my inferior. My "spell check" is my education, and yours? You can't even imagine what it means. Look at the evidence, "wheel boy": you have lost on every single encounter on points of grammar, logic, facts, and, oh, yes, wit. Start cutting into those veins, hillbilly.
@60schickisaDUDE, You mean, "HOW'S" (not "hows") it going, ILLITERATE?
Ah, yes, still stupid, unlettered, and witless after all these years. Given that ignorance is bliss, it is no wonder that you are so "blissed" out with yourself. Now go run home to your trolling creep of an alter(ed) ego, Ms. CubanoChezGroveling.
@phiIheIIenes, your ignorant self and stupid derière have already taken, in the parlance of the day, a mighty ass whuppin'. To date, you have been shown to be a (barely) functioning illiterate, an undereducated hypocrite, and a risible cacophonous cretin, whinging and whining when the striking riposte boxes his ears. Cry, baby, cry, all you want, you pathetic, bathetic, and utterly misdirected NOB, nothing and no one can change your lowly status.
@phiIheIIenes, spare us your mutated middling mind set, Queenie. "Nègre," and "Noir(e)" are colo(u)rs, "negro" is a term the English-speaking world used to describe the "Other," as if white were "normal." Still rolling the "tootsie rolls" in your mouth as you drop them from what mistake for your head, aren't you. Take it elsewhere, NOB.
@phiIheIIenes, one supports your right to marry, to serve openly in the military, and to enjoy all of the benefits and obligations of full citizenship under the law. However, I don't give a frack about your love/hate obsession over your imaginary "Blankfrack." Your crudely veiled ruse is as boorish as it is boring. No educated person of sound mind would trade in the tripe you do, Gay, straight, or bi-curious. Take it elsewhere.
:/ wow, i sort of wish that people would keep to the video here. if you like the song, great. if you dont like it, thats ok too. the insulting and fighting is getting a bit much :(
@phiIheIIenes, you really miss your "Blankfrack." It is striking that you persist in reveling in your Gay fantasies, albeit from the anonymity of the Net. Just like conservative queers everywhere, you play the catamite until caught, and then claim it was all "Blankfrack's" fault. No, you are the cabin boy in all things. Drink up, little Miss Queenie, you've got your pennies to make by peddling the only thing you can sell: your crud-filled mouth and your empty head.
@phiIheIIenes, "oh, yes," you always offer support and defense to the insupportable and indefensible racist. But then, given your predilection for "large negroes" (Ms. white trash, when will you learn to spell?), "wads," and man-boy "baby batter," you really ought to seek out a site more to your alternative "tastes."
@phiI- Jaime...MrAnusmystere... suffers from a persecution complex. I swear this guy is a house-bound invalid or retard (hey, maybe this is Blankfrack!). He thinks I'm a racist because I said something about Olivia being Mexican, and thus, a "good" investment. I mean, she not only used to clean his 120-room mansion, she also saved his life by clobbering the angry George Harrison music-critic over the head. I complimented Olivia for being not only a good breeder, but a most excellent guard-dog.
Mademoiselle CubanChezGrovelling, due to your cultural illiteracy and lowbrow tastes, you think Tavern on the Green is the apotheosis of haute cuisine. What an idiot you are. Tavern on the Green is defunct. In its heyday, it was nothing but a tourist trap for the lowbrow "Bridge-and-Tunnel" crowd. Your idea of an intellectual "five-course gourmet" meal"(note the correct rendering) is naught but "cheeseburgers and fries from Jack In The Box."
@CubanCheGuevara Ms.CubanChezGrovelling suffers from delusions of mediocrity. Your are a racist, given your sickening resort to lurid racial stereotypes. We know you are a coward, as you resort to racism to compensate for your intellectual inability to defend your indefensible slanders. Illiterates, cowards, and racists such as yourself never get compliments, and this reality hurts you. Get a flea collar, mutt, and stop your whinging and whining. Its so unbecoming.
@jaime-D. McKenzie, 1st Place, "Bulwer-Lytton": Writing Contest: "She walked into my office on legs as long as one of those long-legged birds that you see in Florida - the pink ones, not the white ones - except that she was standing on both of them." - 2nd Place, Jaimie: "He heard the door nob turn. In came a tool. A real knob! The man spoke but he didn't understand what he was eluding two. Finally, he asked him to clarify, to which he replied "oh, quit trying to allude the question, you knob"!
@CubanChezGrovelling, as the Mountebank of literacy, you would not comprehend the axiom, "Flattery is a kind of bad money, to which our vanity gives us currency." You flatter yourself constantly. Wit eludes you, as do allusions to the likes of Jarry or La Rochefoucauld.
@phiIheIIenes, your "comments" add up to "evidence" in the "courtroom" of opinion on the part of your better-educated adversaries. You are guilty of horrendous grammar skills and an abysmal lack of cultural literacy. You post more than I do, suggesting that the real "unemployed shit bum" is you in all of your gutter glory. Evidently, suffering defeat upon defeat is your idea of "gainful employment": happy to oblige, goober.
@phiIheIIenes, if you had bothered to READ, you would have noticed that I had addressed my post to the egregiously envious CubanChezLiar. It is all too easy to whup your punk hiney, as you have not yet "learned to read, dumb one."
@phiIheIIenes, your attempt at the red herring logical fallacy, which is by definition an attempt to draw one's scrutiny away from the facts at hand, simply won't work. I have pointed out what an ignorant NOB you are with the evidence. You can't refute this. I've pointed out your risible hypocrisy, given your decided lack of education. You can't refute this. We conclude that you "lack the ability to ignore people because you suffer from poor self esteem."
MrAnusmyst- I have never seen anyone blow his own horn as you. You blow like a bad wind, approximating an awkward, self-conscious version of STAGE ENGLISH. An English Dandy. A fop, a fag. A Popinjay. As if he were in a high-school play, you think everything is Shakespearian. You'd play Stanley from "A Street Car Named Desire" as Richard Burton doing Macbeth. You are like a priest with a congregation of ONE. If you're of the Catholic variety, you should take care not to molest yourself! Tee Hee!
@CubanCheGuevara, obviously you haven't read your own posts. You fabricate, smear, and lie like a rug regarding Harrison as only a dangerously envious sociopath would. You deny and obfuscate when confronted with actual passages from dictionaries and style guides that prove your ignorance and incompetence, and you resort to the witless ad homenim of a pummeled palooka. What a "RUBE" you are.
@CubanCheGuevara, given your over familiarity with "intellectual lite," you naturally intuit that your superiors are so predisposed as well. Keep singing the song of the nattering NOBS of nothingness. By the way, have you bothered to read the multiple dictionary entries for "NOB?"
Let's see, by my count, you have been proven wrong on "ERR," quotations, "NOB," and the facts on every single exchange. Like rubes "European" and otherwise, you insist that your nonexistent intellectual "authority" supersedes all of the established sources, a hysterical response from a know-nothing hysteric.
@jaimeguitar50 See what I mean? Whom are you quoting when you put "authority" in quotes? I didn't use that word. You didn't even use it until now. Why the quotes, my grammatically challenged friend?
@CubanCheGuevara, you have no "authority" to speak of, and you are ignorant as to how and in what contexts to use quotes. You have neither a copy nor any familiarity with MLA, Chicago, Oxford, NY Times, or AP style guides, as your "grammatically challenged" posts more than prove. Squirm all you want, you have been skewered as J. Alfred Prufrock could only imagine.
@CubanCheGuevara, yes, we "see what you mean." You are an uneducated rube, as are the Jeffros of your little coterie of under-educated morons and self-invented trolls with whom you make common cause of the all-too common. Look up "scare quotes" pinhead, assuming you can figure out what a style guide is, let alone its purpose. You must like the humiliations you suffer. You keep begging for more.
@jaimeguitar50 I looked up "scare quotes". All I got was Fox News and the Republican Party Tactical Field Guide. Your posts are odd. It's as if you grew up doing nothing but reading books. Under normal circumstances this might be commendable but I suspect you were compelled by dark reasons. Your books were probably your only friends. Severely overweight? Exceptionally short? Some kind of facial deformity? What is it? What motivates someone to try SO HARD to approximate a normal person?
@CubanCheGuevara, your grasp on grammar is as weak as your attempts at humor. And by the way, your attempt to play the left field does not exculpate you from your resort racist innuendo when you were called to account yet again for your lies. Enter "scare quotes" on Google alone, and 101,000 entries appear. But you can't find them. Thus you are either stupid or a liar. No, actually you lie stupidly. And your resort to ad hominems won't save you.
@jaime - Not to quibble but shouldn't your sentence have been "your attempts at humor are as weak as your grammar"? Wit dictates that introducing new subject matter into a retort be placed first. This is what I mean. You're socialy awkward. Strangely stilted. It's like you grew up in a closet. Like you got all your social cues from watching TV and reading. Interaction with people leave you puzzled and reaching for things that comfort you, like "quotes". Quick, how many fingers am I holding up?
@CubanCheGuevara, you "quibble" all the time, and you are never correct. Your suggestion is meaningless, given that it neither has a basis in the rules of grammar, nor in any informal protocol. More to the point: one doesn't take advisement from a who deigns to pontificate on grammar while employing such malapropisms as, "socialy akward" (SIC, you pinhead!).
Loser, your attempts at wit are as witless as your slanders against George. See a shrink and return to high school, pinhead.
@CubanCheGuevara, Clearly you take your grammar "clues" from "watching TV" and from your "interactions" with the boneheaded right-wing booberry found on these threads. How else can one explain your penchant for the following errors:
1) Sentence fragments
2) Punctuation following quotation marks
3) Passive voice
"Quick, how many fingers am I holding up?" Only the middle one, you lying, animus-addled illiterate.
@jaimeguitar50 You hide behind verbiage like your mothers skirt. I don't sense a casualness about it. Their wit and clever playfulness fall out of their sleeves with a casual grace. You dwell over aspects of grammar because, seemingly, you have nothing else to replace it. Lacking anything meaningful to do, you seem to administer to your missives with tremendous care. Dwelling over each word like a mother hen. Leaving the reader amused when you confuse things like "ALLUDE" and "elude". Tee Hee!
@CubanCheGuevara, doomed by your incompetence and enflamed by your twisted animus against George Harrison, you lash out with unfounded assumptions, howling grammatical errors, and meretricious red herrings. Your similes are boorish and clichéd. As to the charge of "confusing the meanings of allude and "elude," the ALLUSION to Ionesco and Queneau continues to ELUDE you, oh, ye of little reading.
@jaimeguitar My "animus" is inflamed! Ouch! Look, if I confused ELUDE and ALLUDE like you did, I'd pretty pissed off too. I mean, your grammatical acumen hasn't protected you from embarrassing blunders. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE a phrase well written. In particular, WIT. God, I love a good insult. So far, I just haven't heard any from you. WIT is like a 5 course gourmet meal from Tavern On The Green. What I have been getting from you is more like cheeseburgers and fries from Jack In The Box.
@CubanCheGuevara, your humiliation is inflamed! Ouch! Look, you are so illiterate that a shockingly obvious ALLUSION to Ionesco and Queneau ELUDES you. Ouch! You dont know how to use apostrophes, modifying clauses, or the simpliest pronouns. Ouch! Your entire oeuvre is nothing but embarrassing blunders. Ouch! And look, here is another one of your sentence fragments: In particular, WIT. Ouch! God, you love a good insult, and thats why you come back for punishment.
@CubanCheGuevara, you ERR in the use of the third-person possessive pronoun , "their." PINHEAD, you never established a proper referent for the pronoun, unless you think "mothers skirt" (SIC, again!) a singular subject (sans apostrophe, another error of yours) will suffice. Well, it doesn't. You see, Cuban, you must first master English language before acting like an English master. Otherwise, you come off as the buffoon you really are.
Respond to this video... George had to be one of the sweetest sounding guitars of all time and also king of wah wah and slide best arranger best lyrics all round excellence . Only lennon is comparable you know this is true when you see eric clapton and billy preston talk about george and his music or tom petty or bob dylan george was the musos musician!!!
@LisaAyala7 I don't see that as brainwashing. the hare krishna bits is just like if someone were to be like praise jesus or whatever. the song is pretty religious, thats all. but then i people could argue religion is just brainwashing...
Its really sad that the sun no longer shines on george, but yet he shines in all our hearts. that is comfort enough. we will always have his voice and his wisdom. Thank you George.
Agreed. One of the things I love about this album is how personal it is, but at the same time, I always listen to it and think, "Wow. George was dying when he made this." and it just becomes so... personal. The end where he recites the prayer is especially touching for me.
Love this song. Even though George couldn't finnish it before he passed. I somehow think the finnishing touches from Dhani and Jeff made it a bit more special. A team effort! :)
Jeff Lynne did the production but as he as Dhani said they tried to make as small their impact as possible. They didn't really remix George's original voice, they mainly completed the rhythmic/acoustic section and did some backing vocals when needed. George left so much stuff, so many demo tracks they just had to put it all together and put the finishing touches.
his voices sounds weird probably because he was fighting terminal cancer at this point. it had spread and he had part of his lung removed so he wasn't doing so well. actually, he didn't even finish all of the songs on the cd; he passed away before completion.
i still enjoy it; sort of a last bow type thing and he was going to push on to the end :)
Good stuff!!! I like his thoughts... He was very much imressed by Indian music and its culture may be because it was matching his thoughts and wanted to show it the world....
i believe so. i know that some of the songs from his "brainwashed" album he actually didn't complete before passing so Dhani and Jeff Lynne actually took care of finishing the mixes and adding vocals and such.
well, at that time he had had part of his lung removed due to the cancer and it had metastasised (sp) so he wasnt in tiptop condition. still quite good though, no?
I don't want to incite some stupid argument on this video, but those are NOT documentaries. They are speculative fiction, at best. To compare George's genius to some petty independent filmmakers' crap is blasphemy.
Well it does detract from the point, because Zeitgeist explains how we are brainwashed by religion, the government, and big business, and money, Esoteric agenda explains how we are detached from ourselves, Kymatica gives a theory of how we can sort the problem.
I suggest everyone should take a look and make up their own minds up.
If you don't like whats getting said it's up to you to switch off or disagree.
a big beatles fan but am ashamed to admit I didn't listen to much of Georges solo work until after his death ( much to the disgust of one of my sons who is a big george fan) . I love his music now and Brainwashed was my first full album I listened to. I wasn't keen on the title song until I was told in no uncertain terms to listen to the words properly and i now LOVE it .....RIP George and thanks for the music
i agree completely. i loved his sense of humour as well and his view on different subjects. he was very smart and had a good way of articulating his thoughts and feelings :D
I thought that capitalism and the situation in the USA now were wrong when I heard this song for the first time 6 years ago. It was the one year anniversary of George's death. Six years later, the current situation of the world's economy is disasterous now. I was right six years ago. 12/31/08
i agree with all of you. i identify with a lot of his songs more than some of theirs. i think quite a lot of his songs are beautiful and are still relevant. look at awaiting on you all "the pope owns 51% of general motor and the stock exchange is the only thing hes qualified to quote us"
I can hardly watch TV anymore, because the commercials are played at a higher volume than the programming, so every time the commercials come on I have to lower it, then make it louder when the programming comes back on. I bet that would have ticked George off good.
George says "brainwashed in the pram" which means 'baby carriage" in the US. It is possibly true that even the "pram" is a brainwashing device made to separate the parents from the closeness to the parents. The solution is a baby carrier which holds the baby to the front or the back of the parent's body. Miss you George!
oh, that happened to me! with 33 1/3, actually. i like "Dear One" and "Crackerbox Palace" but most of the others are just kind of eh to me. ill listen to them, but not with the same enthusiasm as some other songs.
i disagree. i find some songs on there that i like very much, like rising sun, devil in the deep blue sea, any road, brainwashed...
he had cancer and half a lung removed. you cant blame him for not sounding the greatest. this was sort of his last hurrah, a chance to speak his mind finally. i really enjoy it. not my favourite (george harrison is the album i like best) but i still think its pretty good.
So true, brainwashed into believing we're under threat from "international terrorism", that the problems in the housing market just happened and are nobody's fault, brainwashed into thinking that what you hear and see in the media must be true... etc. etc. Beautiful song.
i loved it when i first heard it. so beautiful and so insightful. ive always loved that george said exactly wot he thought and felt regardless of wot people would think of him or say.
god must have disliked this song

OK, I like George Harrison's work. He's a gifted and talented songwriter, who wrote many, many songs. And if you were to list all of his songs from best to worst, some songs would be nearer to the bottom of the list than the top. This is one of the songs that are closer to the bottom of his list than the top. But that's not to say it's a bad song, or that Harrison wasn't extremely talented. It's just that this one isn't as good as most of his other songs.

Jeff Lynne did the production but as he as Dhani said they tried to make as small their impact as possible. They didn't really remix George's original voice, they mainly completed the rhythmic/acoustic section and did some backing vocals when needed. George left so much stuff, so many demo tracks they just had to put it all together and put the finishing touches.

George says "brainwashed in the pram" which means 'baby carriage" in the US. It is possibly true that even the "pram" is a brainwashing device made to separate the parents from the closeness to the parents. The solution is a baby carrier which holds the baby to the front or the back of the parent's body. Miss you George!

he had cancer and half a lung removed. you cant blame him for not sounding the greatest. this was sort of his last hurrah, a chance to speak his mind finally. i really enjoy it. not my favourite (george harrison is the album i like best) but i still think its pretty good.
differing opinions are good, tho ;3

So true, brainwashed into believing we're under threat from "international terrorism", that the problems in the housing market just happened and are nobody's fault, brainwashed into thinking that what you hear and see in the media must be true... etc. etc. Beautiful song.

i loved it when i first heard it. so beautiful and so insightful. ive always loved that george said exactly wot he thought and felt regardless of wot people would think of him or say.
