Book Title: All Things Must Pass Away: Harrison, Clapton, and Other Assorted Love Songs

Author: Kenneth Womack and Jason Kruppa

Selection Statement:

The Beatles are the soundtrack of my life. My favorite is George Harrison, who regarded Beatle George “like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion.” I chose this title in celebration of the 50th anniversary year of George’s masterpiece, All Things Must Pass. Kenneth Womack, the 2013 Penn State Laureate and one of the world’s leading authorities on the Beatles, explores the personal and creative friendship between Harrison and Eric Clapton in this dual biography of two guitar icons.
