I can't imagine how the author could be willing to make himself more important than a pop musician, or what that could ever mean, but as I fail to understand how you could consider Harrison one of the greatest guitarists and also a "spiritual guru" either, maybe we're just completely out of sync in terms of personal references and that's it.
<< I am not just willing to forgive him his one lapse into the murky territory of unconsciously (or even consciously) borrowing a riff from another song (which in any case, he certainly raised above the level of just another unsophisticated Motown love ditty), but am going to remain grateful for his existence until the end of my own. >>Christine: <clap clap clap clap> ITA. I grow more appreciative of George Harrison's contributions to the Beatles and to pop music with every passing year. RIP to the "quiet Beatle."
I don't see how to "clap clap clap clap"someone who was caught STEALING someone else's work, but that's, again, "out-of-sync personal references" I guess.
Bye,
Caio
