LECTURE 21: CARRYING ON: Dig this official music video for George Harrison’s “What Is Life.” It’s a quirky little movie about an offbeat young woman savoring life to the sounds of Harrison’s magnificent song. “What Is Life” appeared on Harrison’s epic ALL THINGS MUST PASS (1970) triple album, which rivaled in sheer explosive creativity anything that came out of John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band. Some critics felt that Harrison – after being held back for so many years by John and Paul – released too much at once, and perhaps he should’ve spaced some of the music out into two or three masterpieces. Listen to the album in its entirety (including the third Apple Jam disc!) and judge for yourself. Incidentally, this fan-made music video, directed by Brandon Moore, was chosen by Olivia and Dhani Harrison to be the official music video for “What Is Life.” It stars ballet dancer Emma Rubinowitz.
