![“The telegram, a terse protest of the bombing of Cambodia, was addressed to then-President Richard Nixon and sent to the White House by George Harrison on August 16, 1973. […]
Here is the text of the telegram, retaining the misspellings [ed. note: of the transcriber, who seemed to have some trouble with an English accent] and garbled syntax:
‘Sir how can you bomb Cambonian [sic] citizens and worry about kicking me out of the country for smoking marijuana at the time. Your repressive emperaour [sic] war monger ways stop before too piece luv we will run the world Harry Krisher Hare Hara Krishne Hare Hara Hare Hara Krishner [sic]. George Harrison.’” - The Kansas City Star (August 11, 2017)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwvlozdzepfmosiy5mbsc6pe/bafkreibgq7iuojtxlvjyv5vsgessutsgi64amnuwpb3vfk7fyjjdv7ou7a)

“The Traveling Wilburys] chose [‘Nobody’s Child’], thought it was a perfect song, and it was. It was really generous of them, because they were in full flow recording the second album and they stopped, it was literally - I woke up, and he called me. They were still awake. ‘We did this… He knew, you know, George knew I wouldn’t ask, and he knew tones of my voice and obviously knew it was serious and how I was feeling there. Because it was pretty horrific. And in fact the Romanian Angel Appeal’s still going. It has been adopted as a program by the government there, so they’re still helping children.” - Olivia Harrison, Dark Horse Radio (2018)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwvlozdzepfmosiy5mbsc6pe/bafkreiaa7ewtpbtg3umwpwmghaefogfsip6spdowvj7d2zjfekewxjxdpi)

“I remembered that old song from the late ‘50s, ‘Nobody’s Child’ — Lonnie Donegan had it on one of his albums. I could remember a bit of how the tune went but I didn’t know the words. I eventually got in touch with Joe Brown in London who knew the first verse but not the rest. So I wrote the second verse lyric myself (‘In every town and village there are places just like this/With rows and rows of children, babies in their cribs/They’ve long since stopped their crying/As no one ever hears/And there’s no one there to notice them or take away their fears’). […] [Organizing the charity album is] nothing compared to what Olivia and all the carpenters and electricians who are giving their time for free are doing. This is just my small contribution.” - George Harrison, Q Magazine (1990)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwvlozdzepfmosiy5mbsc6pe/bafkreiaz74ffw3jwvna3ylxvfruppp4es4mfcgea5lo7gpfkfphvzinuiq)
