I go to work last night, and find they've taken away our internet accses. Right before I get off my shift, I hear that one of my heros has died. The "kids" at work just don't "Get it". For alot of us, another piece of our lives/past is gone. The radio's been playing his stuff all morning. It's been raining for two days. I'm going on an ice cream binge. R. I. P. George.

Harrison's death 'peaceful golden moment' Sir Paul McCartney has spoken to George Harrison's wife Olivia about the moment his friend died. He said his death was a "great blessing" and a "very peaceful golden moment". Sir Paul added that he knew Harrison had been ill for some time and he was "praying for a miracle". The pair lived in the same area when they were young and grew up together. Sir Paul said: "He was a lovely, lovely man. We know he's been ill for a while and we've just been praying for some kind of miracle. "It wasn't to be, but I understand from his wife that he went peacefully which is a great blessing and it was a very peaceful golden moment apparently." He added: "I will just miss him but rather than just dwell on the sadness, I'm tending to start remembering all the silly little stories of where we went, all the things we did, and the laughs we had together. "He was a very lovely man who didn't suffer fools gladly and didn't like interferences in his private life. "He was a great man, a loving man, and I would like to ask people, particularly the media, to be very kind to Olivia and Dhani at the moment and to try and support them this time, because they need support." Asked to remember the best times they had together, Sir Paul said: "These are kind of private stories so I didn't really want to go (into them). I'm like George - I don't like to get telling every private story in the media. Suffice to say that we had a lot of laughs together and he was a beautiful man, he was like my baby brother to me. I'll miss him dearly but I'll remember the great times we had."
