Good News To Chase Away Them Blues
Hey Gang,
Chris here. Typing at you from high atop DOC Central (which is to say the second floor of our building). I caught wind of a tasty tidbit that I just had to share with my fellow music doc fans out there. I just heard that Bob Dylan and Rolling Stones documentarian Martin Scorsese (and director of lil’ ole movies like Raging Bull and Goodfellas) will direct an authorized documentary about George Harrison! According to Daily Variety, “George Harrison’s music and his search for spiritual meaning is a story that still resonates today and I’m looking forward to delving deeper,” Scorsese said of the project. Harrison’s widow, Olivia, who will serve as a producer on the film, which will go into production this year. “It would have given George great joy to know that Martin Scorsese has agreed to tell his story,” she said. Surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have also agreed to participate. No release date has been set for the film, which isn’t expected to hit theaters for several years. I’m sure that any of my fellow Beatle-maniacs out there will agree it’s most likely gonna be worth the wait. A lovely weekend to you and yours.

It sounds like it will be a breath of fresh air for Beatles fans everywhere. Since Paul is getting jerked around by miss thing and U.S. vs. John Lennon was underminded by the system and didn’t gain as much popularity as it should have.
Way to keep “your ear to the ground” Chris.
