Olivia Harrison says her late husband George Harrison had a habit of giving away his most prized possessions.
One example was his Oscar.
“He gave his Oscar away to Michael Palin. He scratched Michael’s name on it and said, ‘Here, why don’t you have it? You really deserve this.’ Michael returned it after George died.”
He gave away other iconic items, too.
“He gave his Beatle boots to Slim Jim Phantom of the Stray Cats, and the big fuzzy coat from the Let It Be rooftop performance to a nanny who was cold.”
Conan O’Brien joked about how to get in on it.
“We needed to hang around George when he was giving stuff away. Pretend you’re gardening.”
Then he asked Olivia if she’d ever tried to stop him from giving something away.
Her answer was simple: “Yes.”
Just started Alice Cooper's autobiography. Already I can tell its going to be excellent. This is NOT going to be the usual "wild men live crazy" rock & roll read.

This one's spectacular. In the 1960s, London's Mews were still being used to keep horses. This clip spoils us with a lovely glimpse of the people, pubs, and lifestyle among the cobbled backstreets that have since become expensive housing. They certainly had more personality then than nowadays. @Britains___Pubs

Not sure how many of you out there love Emerson Lake & Palmer's Tarkus as much as I do.
But if you do - here it is played on just xylophones and percussion.

So City are to be relegated to the Championship as punishment? Talk about patronising.
What are we twenty odd places below, Devil's fucking Island? We don't want them. Moping about like they're in an open prison.
Fuck em off to non-league.

50 years ago, Dave Allen told a joke about newspaper readers in 1976, it would become more famous 11 years after this on Yes, Prime Minister in 1987.

The Premier League is a bloated cumbersome bore.
Like a movie franchise that just keeps going because it keeps getting bank rolled on it goes through another flavourless season, clueless about how to make the product seem exciting and fresh.
It's such a chore these days.
Just back from The Den/Pub.
An inexplicably disjointed performance from us today - by far the poorest since Alex Neil took over.
Lincoln should have been out of sight by the time we managed to scramble two goals.
Bit concerning...

🚨 POINTLESS STAT OF THE DAY #162
WBA and MILLWALL ON COURSE FOR A BLANK RECORD IN NOV!
Following our most boring English League match series which is running this evening BIG thanks to @WBAKitStats for flagging that WBA host Millwall next month with the last 6 league meetings at The Hawthorns: 1-1, 1-1, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0. 😴
This is far from dull and actually very exciting as given that the goalless draws have come consecutively it means the game on November 7th could potentially set an English Football league record as this fixture is currently tied with...
Bristol Rovers v Brentford
Gillingham v AFC Bournemouth
Hull City v Middlesbrough
Oxford United v Swindon Town
...for having FOUR consecutive 0-0s in the league at the same ground.
Going to make for an interesting watch and one definitely diarised at Statty HQ! Boing Boing!
@WBA and @MillwallFC use this information very wisely! 🤓
