    Luckily for George Olivia had no thoughts of meditation as she whacked the intruder with a golf club.

It strikes me that if Harrison had in fact gone out that way a) people would be talking about some sort of Beatles assassination curse because people are boring, and b) his legacy would be a lot different.

I agree about his legacy. George wrote some fantastic music, couple that with his intense spirituality and you'd have a pretty strong symbol for peace. Like with John, the clash of extreme violence with a person that represented extreme peace is difficult to wrap your head around.

His son Dhani suggests that the incident took years off of his life. At the time he was battling cancer. The event so scared his wife that she erected razor wire around the whole of their estate but was forced to take it down when it began injuring neighborhood cats.

I just read something extremely sad and somewhat relevant, courtesy of r/beatles, that I'll be posting in just a second.
