When George Harrison was young, his favorite comedian was an eccentric English-American fellow who called himself Lord Buckley. Years after Buckleys death, George Harrison literally did meet a man named George Grief (pronounced gryfe), who had been Lord Buckleys manager. When Harrison told Grief what a big fan hed been, Grief took him to see Buckleys old house, a house he called Crackerbox Palace. George Harrison wrote the whimsical, silly song Crackerbox Palace in honor of Lord Buckley. He even mentions Mr. Grief in the lyrics. At the end of the song, when George Harrison sings Know that the Lord is well and inside of you, many people think GEorge is singing about God being inside each and every one of us. Rather, hes saying that, somewhere, the late Lord Buckley is happy in a new, Heavenly Crackerbox Palace.
