Props for Uncle Bobo
« on: April 15, 2024, 09:05:35 AM »
I'm reading Phillip Norman's George Harrison: The Reluctant Beatle*.  Describing the arrangements for the Dark Horse tour, he says:


"Tour promoters had changed, too, and the obvious candidate for this highly sensitive one was Bill Graham, the impresario and promoter of San Francisco's celebrated Fillmore Auditorium and the first member of his profession to possess anything resembling a soul."


I love that line!


*The book is OK-ish.  Nothing ground-breaking, though; the "Source Notes" almost entirely cite other books (mostly his own on The Fabs, Paul, John, and Clapton).  A quick scan revealed no original source material.  The photos are all credited to Shutterstock.  So, a fairly competent hack.


Peter (who is wondering what kind of world we live in when spellcheck doesn't recognize "Beatle".......)
