Paul McCartney claims he speaks to his late Beatles bandmate George Harrison through a TREE he was gifted at his home
Daily Mail ^ | December 29, 2020 | Rosy Simons

Sir Paul McCartney has claimed he's been talking to George Harrison, as he believes his late friend's spirit has inhabited a tree at his home.

The music icon, 78, made the candid confession while appearing on NPR earlier this month, and said his fellow Beatles member, who passed away in 2001 from lung cancer, had given him the fir tree as a gift.

He explained: 'George was very into horticulture, a really good gardener, so he gave me a tree as a present. It's a big fir tree and it's by my gate.

'As I was leaving my house this morning, I get out of the car, close the gate and look up at the tree and say, ''Hi, George''.

'There he is, growing strongly. And you know, that takes me back to the time when I hitchhiked with him! They're an ever-present presence, if that's a way to say.'

Paul went on: 'It's lovely. He gave it to me — I just planted it. But then, as the years go by, every time I look at it I go, ''That's the tree George gave me''.

'George has entered that tree, for me. I hope he's happy with that.'

How fitting for the end of 2020.

If anything, George inhabits Dhani's guitar.

Paul McCartney’s new song, The Kiss of Venus, is good.

If you ain’t fir it, you agin it.

I genuinely feel sorry for Paul. For George’s sake, I hope Harrison listened to his Wilbury companion Dylan and accepted Christ before his death.

Is he also working on an RV in his back yard?

Sounds like something Yoko would say.

Maybe they need to hook-up.

He’s an ass leftard. There’s a Daily Mail article back in 2003 and he was interviewed that he hated Republicans and conservatives. Plus a bona fide obama worshipper.

George H was my fave Beatle who found Christianity later in life. No way would he EVER want to “come back” as a tree in this asshole’s house.

I listened to some of that new Album he released, and I think that Tree wrote most of it.

Actually this is a BS story. He says hello to the tree. He doesn’t say the tree talks back. My dad planted a peach tree shortly before his death. I could see myself saying hello to it and him, big deal.

It’s tough if you get cut down in your prime.

You get all that money, you’d think you would become grateful and do something good for the world, not become a nutty whack job or an evil misanthrope.

Unless that tree can sing “Something” I don’t believe it.

I’m actually a fan of Paul, but I can clearly see this is one of those mildly controversial quips that musicians like to throw out to gin up sales on a recently released album. I wouldn’t read too much into this.
