McCartney Times

When you’re in a band with John Lennon and Paul McCartney, it’s got to be pretty tough to convince them that you should get to write songs too. But some of The Beatles’ most memorable tracks — “Something,” “Here Comes the Sun,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Taxman” and others — were actually penned by “the quiet one.”George Harrison died of cancer in 2001, and since then, his son, Dhani, has kept his father’s spirit alive in many ways. In 2014, he helped organize a charity tribute concert, just like his dad used to do, called George Fest: A Night to Celebrate the Music of George Harrison. It featured an eclectic mix of heavy-hitters like Brian Wilson, Norah Jones, The Flaming Lips and Cold War Kids — and this week, those performances were released as an album and concert film.
