bohemea: George Harrison One of the things I love about George Harrison is Friar Park, with its sprawling landscape and its bizarre, enormous manor house. He installed a recording studio there. Shakespear’s Sister recorded Hormonally Yours in it. He locked it up tightly after John Lennon was murdered, and his fears were justified two decades later when a man broke in and attacked George and Olivia. But, even before Lennon’s death and the locked gates, Friars Park may have isolated George in other ways. Michael Palin (of Monty Python) writes in Diaries 1969-1979: It has none of the feel of a big draughty Victorian house, but one can’t escape the feeling of George somehow cut off from everyday life by the wealth that’s come his way. Still, looking at that photo, you have to imagine it was like living in his own tiny kingdom with all the toys money can buy. There are worse places to be isolated.
