George Harrison was born in Liverpool, England in 1943. His sister has said that their mother wrote in her diary that he was born ten minutes after midnight on February 25, though Harrison subsequently claimed that he had, in fact, been born on February 24 at 11:40 PM. His full name is often given as "George Harold Harrison," but this is incorrect. Harrison had no middle name, as one can see on his birth certificate. Harold was his father's name.

Harrison’s childhood home is located at 12 Arnold Grove. He first attended school at Dovedale Infants, just off Penny Lane. Later on, he attended the Liverpool Institute for Boys (now the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts), a "smart school", but was regarded as a poor student, and contemporaries described him as someone who would "sit alone in the corner". In the mid-1950s he knew Paul McCartney (also a Liverpool Institute student) and beginning in February 1958 played lead guitar in the band (initially called The Quarry Men) that eventually became The Beatles.

In 1959, Harrison worked briefly as an apprentice electrician at Blacklers Stores in Liverpool. The training helped, and Harrison became the member who knew the most about rigging their sound equipment. Later he set up his own multitrack recording gear at his Esher home, Kinfauns, making song demos for himself and The Beatles.

George Harrison died at the home of a friend, security specialist Gavin de Becker, in Los Angeles, California on November 29, 2001, at the age of 58. His death was ascribed to lung cancer that had metastasized to the brain. He was cremated, and although it was widely reported that his ashes were scattered in the River Ganges, the ceremony was not conducted at the expected time. The actual disposition of the ashes has not been publicly disclosed.

After his death, the Harrison family released the following statement: "He left this world as he lived in it: conscious of God, fearless of death and at peace, surrounded by family and friends. He often said: 'Everything else can wait, but the search of God cannot wait; and love one another.'"

Harrison and Aaliyah Haughton made UK chart history when they scored the first (and so far the only) pair of back-to-back posthumous number one hits as Aaliyah's "More than a Woman" (released on January 7, 2002 and topped the chart on January 13, 2002) was followed by Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" (re-released on January 14, 2002 and topped the chart on January 20, 2002).

Harrison's final album, Brainwashed, was completed by Dhani Harrison and Jeff Lynne and released on November 18, 2002.

On November 29, 2002 – the first anniversary of George Harrison's death – the Concert for George saw the two remaining Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr join many of Harrison's other friends for a special memorial concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London that benefitted the Materia... ]]> ~CalebAaronOsment http://CalebAaronOsment.deviantart.com/journal/7571477/ http://CalebAaronOsment.deviantart.com/journal/7571477/ Wed, 11 Jan 2006 07:24:02 PST

Thought I'd let you all know about something huge happening right now. If you've noticed my latest deviations, you'll know there's something happening - THEMONKEYMURDERS. Originally designed as just a short film, I've decided to turn the whole thing into a murder mystery - and you're going to be the ones who solve it. That's right - I'm leaving the clues, for you to investigate yourself. But don't think it's easy; you'll have a lot of obstacles along the way. But I'm not going to make you work for nothing. Whoever successfully solves the mystery first, will win a year's free subscription on deviantART.

But how do you start, you ask?

_{The answer is hidden somewhere on this page. Find it, and you'll be on your first steps towards solving the mystery.}

Here are a few rules, regarding how you solve the mystery:

* No matter how hard you beg, I'm not going to physically tell you any clues straightfowardly.

* No groups. Two people can work on finding clues, et cetera, but there is only one prize, so you'll have to decide who gets it.

* You will need to think outside the box. This scavenger hunt will be both deviantART and non-deviantART-related, so be on your toes, and search for hidden meanings, wherever you can.

Along the journey, you will be asked to solve many puzzles. At certain stages, you will need to progress by noting me, with your correct answer. You will then be given a new clue, and a new path to follow.

---

These are all the rules and information I'm giving you at this stage. As of now, the hunt has begun. Remember, the first clue is hidden somewhere on this page. It's up to you to find it, and solve the puzzle.

Good luck!
