janie48 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 As said before, WHICH GOD ??? There's that many different ones knocking about these day's... The one and only one. Perhaps the same one, as the one referred to in my favourite hymn, My sweet Lord,written by someone called George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janie48 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Are you talking about Vishnu ? I don't think he was really certain who he was talking about at the time (George Harrison that is) he was going on frequent trips at the time he wrote the song and he was also quite young at that time and doing a lot of searching. The words of the song were quite meaningful to me at one stage,i suppose its a touch of nostalgia that makes me still like to hear it. Edited June 26, 2012 by janie48 Added more.

redwhine Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) The one and only one. Perhaps the same one, as the one referred to in my favourite hymn, My sweet Lord,written by someone called George. Sorry, but that song doesn't mention god at all. I wasn't certain, so I checked the lyrics. Not one single reference to any god whatsoever. The only "sweet" lord I can think of that fits the bill would be Sir Henry Tate, 1st Baronet. An English sugar merchant and philanthropist, noted for establishing the Tate Gallery, London. In 1872, he built a new refinery in Liverpool, which could be the connection to the George to whom you refer. (Liverpool, that is; not the sugar refinery.)

You do realise that G.H. received a hefty fine for plagiarism for that song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfxx3scAKS8 From Wiki... In 1978, before the court decided on damages in the case, Harrison's former manager Allen Klein, who had represented him earlier in the proceedings, purchased the copyright to "He's So Fine" from Bright Tunes. On 19 February 1981, the court decided the damages amounted to $1,599,987, but that due to Klein's duplicity in the case, Harrison would only have to pay Klein $587,000 for the rights to "He's So Fine" − the amount Klein had paid Bright Tunes for the song.

redwhine Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) RootsBooster, do you believe in a God? Chorba, why do you capitalise god when you talk about "a" god rather than a specific god ("the" God)? Slip of the CAPS SHIFT, or subconsciously revealing your 'agenda'?

redwhine Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 yes we do believe in God. Is that the royal we or are you schizophrenic? Otherwise, your post lacks relevance; you may as well just have ticked the relevant option in the poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan of S5 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I don't believe in god. I don't need a god to give me comfort, I've lived my life, had my fun, loved, had my heart broken, and now it's about waiting to die. Going to sleep forev er is not scarey. I welcome it because life has been hard and I need a rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
