Faster


I got an issue of "The Write Thing" from 1986 that had this photo of George with a fan and this article with it.


George flew into Adelaide, S. Australia on Oct 30 to be on hand for the Nov. 3 Grand Prix race there. Harrison, dressed in a pink cotton shirt and jeans and wearing sunglasses was greeted by a handful of media people, a far cry from the 300,000 that lined the streets 21 years ago when he last visited Adelaide with The Beatles. At the races, George posed for photographs with fans and signed plenty of autographs before asking everyone to "give me a break" so he could watch the race. He was with traveling friend and former world champion motor cycle racer Barry Sheene.

George also sat by the side of the stage at an Everly Bros. concert there, but did not go on stage.

TWT member Noel Forth reports that he was seen the day before the concert driving around town in a silver BMW with Barbara Bach - George denied the rumors that Ringo had also come to Adelaide though.

And he was reported seen in a small club in Norwood (a suburb) with Clint Eastwood and Paul Newman - who were also in town for the Formula One races.

George gave a rare interview to one persistent reporter and talked a bit about his musical career.
