George Harrison Memorial Tree Eaten By…Beetles

In an interesting twist of irony, a tree that was planted in memory of George Harrison has been killed by real-life beetles. The pine tree, which was planted in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park in 2004, had been placed near the parks observatory along with a small plaque honoring the famed guitarist.

Fortunately for fans of the quiet Beatle, Los Angeles Councilman Tom LaBonge has announced that a new tree will be planted in place of the old one.

<i wonder if it was a japanese beetle>

Somehow, I think with his philosophy, George would appreciate this.

I think that whatever kind of beetle it was it should be renamed, _______________ Beatle.
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.
