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.'

So ?!?
Sad. Old Paul thinks he’s talking to George the Beatle when in actuality it’s just George, the fir-tree beetle. Don’t know which is worse.
“Harrison continued to embrace the Hare Krishna tradition...”
These are the idiots who, back in the 1970s infested the airports of the US begging for money. I remember them in Tulsa, Denver and other airports.
They found another schtick at Christmas by putting on a Santa clause suit and begging on the streets. The only difference between a regular Santa and one of these is the regular Santas wore a black belt while the Harri krishna santas wore a white belt.
Yup, I remember these guys back then all over LAX. My dad used to give them grief all the time.
I think Eleanor got fed up with her eventually
Apparently Lucy came down from the Sky with Diamonds and occupied what was left of his brain.
Is that a crabby apple tree ?
He always did seem kind of Squirrley
As the commenter said, “And this is why, kids, you don’t do drugs.”
As I said elsewhere, living the life of Paul McCartney has to leave him a little nuts.
too many drugs
Seems like Paul found Jimi’s old stash of Purple Haze.
Judging by some of the film of the 2 “debating George’s guitar contribution” on the last Beatles album I’m sure that George still can’t get a word in edgewise.
Is it Norwegian Wood?
Paul McCartney should really stop giving interviews. He’s become chatty in his old age, and never to the benefit of himself or the Beatles.
LOL.

That’s a keeper.
So? What’s the big deal? Everybody has some way they stay “in communication” with dead friends and relatives. And things the person gave you are frequently on the list. Honestly it’s not really different than going to a grave.
