Pop Think In:  George Harrison

Melody Maker

January 22, 1966


Christmas: Fun and twinkling lights, nothing religious for me, really.

Chris Farlow: Great voice and nice lad.

Birth control:  Nothing, I don't think about it.

Clean up TV campaign:  Rubbish, stupid. The more true-to-life TV, the better. 

Jagger:  Mick, the singer with the Stones.

 Oldham:   Andrew. I think lot of Andrew as an A & R man. I agree with his ideas about recording pop music.

 Pop art:  I haven't seen enough to form an opinion. 

Millionaires: Anyone who can be a millionaire in this country, with the government taking most of it is a real winner. We're not millionaires.

 Hamburg: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 Ewan MacColl: I only heard of him for the first time when he moaned about Dylan.

Folk:  Good Folk is great, but there's too much bad folk, which people say is great.

 Public Schools: They are a case of trying to buy brains for thick kids. 

Murray the K:  He's smart because he's always first one around with anything.

 Debs:  I don't get them at all. Debs are something that have passed. Some people wish they hadn't.

Eppy:  An amazing businessman and a pal

Communism: It's terrible. I only know a little bit about it, but what I know of it is off 

Elvis: Well done.

 Middle-aged autograph hunters:  Depends on their attitude. They're not bad on their own.

 Carnaby Street:  I haven't been there. It's a nice street, I believe.

 Cliff:  Looking rather undernourished. 

Father: Which art in heaven

 James Bond: Overdone.

 God. The Naz.

Private Eye:  Not as funny as they think it is, but quite nice.

 PJ Probey:  A bit foolish, but great to have around.

 Boxing: a violent sport,

 The Who:  Great ideas

 Zoot money:  Big voice and big smile 

Punch ups:  To be avoided

A talent for loving: A good book, a Western but different from others

 Policeman:  a bit simple and not understanding 

Germany:  good fun and laughs.

 Scrubbers: need scrubbing

 Hipsters: Great. I like hipsters as trousers, not as people.
