Fan Urges Pause For George Harrison

 

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

USA, Aug 6 (VNN) — LOS ANGELES (AP) - If, as the Beatles once sang, ''The

love you take is equal to the love you make,'' then fans the world over owe

ailing guitarist George Harrison, a top fan says.

 

Rip Rense, a free-lance writer and longtime contributing editor to Beatlefan

magazine, called on people across the world to pause at noon on Sunday and

shout ''Hare Krishna!'' in Harrison's honor.

 

''The idea is for everybody to think happy thoughts about him and to send

them to him,'' Rense said. ''It's sort of a gigantic human get-well card.''

 

He also called on people in parks and other public places to play one of

Harrison's most popular post-Beatles songs, ''My Sweet Lord.''

 

Harrison, 58, recently denied tabloid reports that he is gravely ill with

cancer, saying he is ''active and very well.'' He has undergone treatment

for a brain tumor, however, and a cancerous lump was removed from his neck

in 1997. He also was wounded by a knife-wielding intruder who broke into his

home in 1999.
