“Blue Jay Way”

A song written by a jet-lagged George after a London to L.A. flight, and it showed. It was named after the street Harrison and his traveling party stayed on in the Hollywood Hills. Very psychedelic, and cited by the late Charlie Manson as one of the Beatle songs he used to justify his rampage. (So nice to say “the late Charlie Manson.”) it served as the basis for a particularly hallucinogenic sequence in the “Magical Mystery Tour” movie. The video is from a French website - you’ll need to make the picture full size, then manually turn up the sound on the screen. Sorry.
