McCartney Recalls George Harrison's Shocking Zip Incident
15 May
Summary
- George Harrison once got shocked by a milk float battery.
- Harrison's jeans zipper caused the electric shock incident.
- McCartney gifted a fir tree by Harrison, feels he's in it.
Paul McCartney recently recounted a humorous incident involving his late Beatles bandmate, George Harrison, during a hitchhiking trip in their youth. While traveling in a slow-moving electric milk float, Harrison sat on the vehicle's battery and received an electric shock when his jeans zipper inadvertently completed a circuit.
McCartney explained that Harrison's back pocket zipper touched the battery's two points, causing a 'Bang!' and a jolt. He humorously noted that Harrison later showed him a "great big zip tattooed into his bum," a detail he found astonishing.
In a separate recollection, McCartney shared that he often communicates with Harrison through a large fir tree the guitarist gifted him years ago. He feels Harrison's spirit resides in the tree, a constant reminder of their friendship and shared past.
