harrison’s birthplace

from the beatles posted in music by elvis_crabs

George Harrison was born here on February 25, 1943. He lived in this small terraced house in a cul-de-sac with his parents and three siblings for 6 years.

Harrison would later say of the house: "Try and imagine the soul entering the womb of a woman living at 12 Arnold Grove... There were all the barrage balloons, and the Germans bombing Liverpool. All that was going on. I sat outside the house a couple of years ago, imagining 1943, nipping through the spiritual world, the astral level, getting back into a body in that house. That really is strange when you consider the whole planet, all the planets there may be on a spiritual level. How do I come into that family, in that house at that time, and who am I anyway?"

manitoba royal theater

The Reeve-ster (or K-Pax, or K-Wood) played Hamlet at this theater in 1995. It was something of a cultural event for Winnipeg, and the show sold-out every night. The city set up a Keanu hotline where they could call with sightings of the actor.

Most people thought he would be horrible, yet he received positive (if not glowing) praise for arguably one of the toughest acting roles.

Well done, K-Swiss.
