I’m not sure exactly where I heard this tidbit of George Harrison<\/strong><\/span> lore but half-assed Googling indicates that it comes from his autobiography. He said something to the effect that in The Beatles<\/span><\/strong> song I Want to Tell You<\/span><\/em><\/strong>, penned by Harrison, that he wished he had reversed the lyric,<\/p>\n

I admit that I could be butchering this story but I’m pretty sure that I have the gist of it. It stuck with me because I used to think that about that part of that song before I heard Harrison thought it too. It’s kinda obvious isn’t it? “Me” is so much more than “mind.” Anyhoo… Here is the only version I could find where it is sung by Harrison in this reversed way.<\/p>\n
