New Video for “My Sweet Lord”
Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, and Harrison’s Traveling Wilburys bandmate, Jeff Lynne, all appear along with George’s wife, Olivia, and son, Dahli. Fred Armisen leads us through most of the video as he searches for… something.
Cameos include Patton Oswalt, Jon Hamm, Taika Waititi, Vanessa Bayer, Mark Hamill, Sam Richardson, Rosanna Arquette, Brandon Wardell, Anders Holm, Moshe Kasher, Natasha Legerro, Reggie Watts, Tim Heidecker, Paul Scheer, Darren Criss and “Weird Al” Yankovic, Rupert Friend, Aimee Mullins, Shepard Fairey, Claudia O’Doherty and Tom Scharpling.
“My Sweet Lord” is from Harrison’s 1970’s solo album, “All Things Must Pass.” Personally, I think the video is really sweet, well thought out and a brilliant, lighthearted tribute to George Harrison and his music. You can check out it for yourself just below.
I was surprised that the video moved along so quickly despite the 7 minutes run time. What did you think?
