Disclaimer: I’m a big George Harrison fan, and I was eager to see this new video, which I’d heard about on Facebook a few days ago.

I agree, it’s a weird video, seems to not have anything to do with the song (one of my favorites), and seems to be more an excuse to have a bunch of cameos. I’m not sure what to make of it, either.

A few years ago, Olivia and Dhani Harrison (George’s wife and son) held a competition for filmmakers to create a new “official” video for another of his songs, “What Is Life”; the winning video, too, is quirky, but I think it’s still a better video, and a better fit with its song.
