Video camera repair




I found this interesting.  In May 1990, George was in Los Angeles with the Traveling Wilburys Volume 3.  We know that George liked to use home movie cameras and in the 1990s was often seen with a video camera in his hand.  So at some point, he had to get his camera fixed and he went to this repair store with his buddy, Jim Keltner.

He was in the shop when one of the shop workers had an idea.  He was surrounded by video cameras, and George Harrison was in the shop.  So he grabbed a video camera and started to record George.  Eventually, George and Jim caught on, and George made some comments about "making bootlegs."  

And while this is an intrusion to George's privacy and I am sure he got sick of this stuff happening, I find it so interesting because it is just a little snapshot of George living his life.   If you want to see the video it is currently on Youtube.
