June 1st marks the 45th anniversary of a decisive Baby Boomer moment: the release of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The album was, in the vernacular of the time, a mind-blowing, far out, groovy forty-minute trip. But that's not all.

The music of the Beatles remains with us still, a poignant reminder that we all have a part to play in bringing about a world dedicated to peace and love.

John Pizzarelli: Favorite album of all time? ... Abbey Road is pretty close to the top of the list. It's funny. You could say Abbey Road or you could say In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning, because they're the types of records you put on and say, 'Oh, I'll just listen to one or two tracks.'

Harrison left behind an amazing legacy, one that not only spanned a legendary musical career that began with the Beatles and continued throughout his solo career, but also went beyond the cultural to the spiritual.

I like to use the Thanksgiving holiday as a golden opportunity to carbo-load in preparation for my second favorite holiday -- Black Friday.

Back then, I was just starting to get a clue about my spiritual reality, but without a doubt, George was already there. He has often been referred to as "the spiritual Beatle." Looking back at that evening, I can see why.

Our pop treasures are still an essential part of who we are, so when we sit on that park bench we can remember them in all their detailed glory -- without CDs, iTunes or iPods.

Both Jobs and Harrison embody different yet similar ways in which all of us can grow and develop towards becoming more fully human. You know when you're on that path -- your inner-self recognizes it.

I found George Harrison's life-long love affair with music so intriguing. He spoke as often with his guitar as he did with his words. Not that his words were too shabby either.
John W. Whitehead | Posted 12.14.2011
George Harrison's nonchalant attitude about his near-mythic experiences as a Beatle was indicative of his overall approach to life, one shaped by his own human frailty, the ambiguities of life in general and his keen spirituality.

I have a huge picture in my living room of me, at around eight years old, meeting the Beatles. What I remember most about it, besides meeting these boys I was crazy about, was that I kept trying to lose my dad.

In the 200 years that Eastern spiritual traditions have been filtering into American life, no artist has ever done more for this cross-cultural pollination than George Harrison.
