But my smile turned to horror when I read the next article, George Harrison has brain tumor I read clenching on to the paper, George Harrison the guitarist from the most best band ever (of course this could be argued)has had 3 cancerous growths in the past year and now has a brain tumor now not only was I saddened I was mad. What kind of a world do we live in where a Backstreet Boy going to rehab gets more attention than George harrison getting a brain tumor, I think George Harrison getting a hangnail is even more important than a Backstreet Boy dying one billion boy bands equall one George Harrison, since monday ive heard, read, and watched that story a million times yet why didnt Chet Atkins get that kind of Attention and he died or John Lee Hooker, we live in a sad sad world.

The day JLH died he there was a good bit of radio coverage but thats about it. There was supposed to be a programme about his life on but the cricket ran overtime and thats oviously more interestin and important than one of the greatest bluesmen ever.
