>From Mojo4Music.com:

<<As the sad news of George Harrison's passing reached MOJO, we were reminded 
of a particularly poignant recent tribute to the former Beatle, who died from 
cancer at a friend's home in LA, at 1.30pm local time on November 29. Just a 
few weeks ago, in Malibu,  California, Tom Petty talked to us about his 
friendship and work with George. We think that this extract from his 
interview says much about the unique spirit and generous character of the 
beloved musician and songwriter.

"I met George before I'd even made a record.  I met him and Ringo at Leon 
Russell's house, where I was kind of employed for a while. It was really 
exciting.  I was struck by how unsnooty they were and they paid attention to 
me, who was nobody. That's the way George is, just a really decent fellow.  
Years later, when we had the Wilburys, we got to be really close friends. 
He's someone that I love a lot. I really would forget about The Beatles but 
then I wouldn't and made myself a pain in the ass sometimes.  'Oh come on, 
tell me about this...come on ...show me how 
you play this...'.  And he would. He's wonderful really.  I've had a lot of 
great times with George.  There's my friend and then there's the guy I see in 
old film clips, Hey, that's George!  We spent a lot of time at his house over 
the years. He's really just a sweetheart.  I don't want to go on or I'll be 
embarrassed. He did do a great thing one night, where he was cleaning out his 
living room, some closets or something. His wife Olivia said 'George, what do 
I do with this?'.  He walked down the hall and said, 'You like Elvis, don't 
you?' and I say, 'yeah'.  So he throws me this leather  holster and it's 
Elvis's holster. Elvis had given it to the Beatles one night and George goes, 
'Do you want it?'. It's signed and everything.  I said, 'you don't want 
this?'  He's like 'I gotta get all this stuff out of here.' He gave me the 
holster. That meant a lot to me."
