  • Presenting DISGRACELAND - George Harrison: Surviving the Beatles, the London Drug Squad, and a Home Invasion

    Presenting DISGRACELAND - George Harrison: Surviving the Beatles, the London Drug Squad, and a Home Invasion
    May 16 2024
    We've paired this Disgraceland episode on George Harrison with About A Girl's episode on Patti Boyd. To learn more about Disgraceland, visit disgracelandpod.com. George Harrison famously survived the dissolution of the Beatles, a bust by London’s drug squad, a potentially bloody visit from the Hell’s Angels, and a few rounds with cancer. But on the final day of the 20th century, his strength and faith were put to the ultimate test. A crazed fan, convinced that the Beatles were evil and George was a sorcerer who had possessed him, broke into George’s Friar Park estate in the dead of night with one goal: to murder George Harrison.
