“I heard it in the night
Words that thoughtless speak
Like vultures swooping down below
On the devil's radio
I hear it through the day
Airwaves gettin' filled
With gossip broadcast to and fro
On the devil's radio”
From Devil’s Radio by George Harrison
We start a week of George Harrison lyrics to celebrate the birth of The Beatles’ guitarist on February 15th 1943 with this lovely little biting lyric; full of humour and every day application! Apparently Harrison saw the words Devil’s Radio on a Church notice Board. Gossip is an everyday annoyance come evil. The Devil’s Radio is a great image; and a good song from Cloud Nine.
