Why George Harrison Stay Outside During The Beatles' Meeting With Elvis Presley
George Harrison stayed outside for most of The Beatles‘ meeting with their idol, Elvis Presley. The King of Rock & Roll’s stylist found him in the backyard. They talked about spirituality. George hadn’t dived head-first into Eastern religion yet, but he was about to. Once he did, people like Elvis didn’t impress him anymore.
In a 1987 interview with Creem Magazine, George explained that The Beatles smoked herbal cigarettes before meeting Elvis.
“He was really nice and he was charming, and it was a big thrill for us, meeting him–especially because … well, we looked forward to it, but it was probably up on Mullholland Drive, which goes around and around and around, and we were in the dark, in the back of this limo,” George said.
