The New York Times writes in an editorial (dated December 1, 2001)
"... you can begin to grasp the complexity of George's role when you think of him as the catalyst who translated the guitar idiom of early American rock-and-roll, which all the Beatles loved, into something utterly new. Untold numbers of American kids got a first taste of their own national music incidentally through the Beatles.
... George will always be remembered for leading the Beatles eastward, to India. But he will also be remembered as the Beatle whose influence on otherguitar players is so widespread as to be almost incalculable.
As for India, George was the only Beatle to remain true to the spiritual quest he began. He died still speaking of that quest. John and George were the ethicists in the band, and they could scarcely have been more different. ... his constancy in the search for enlightenment increased his stature immeasurably. It was, if nothing else, a way of tempering himself, finding a touchstone more significant than the fame that engulfed all the Beatles."
