For those who do not get the allusion, it is to the Beatles song While my guitar gently weeps, written and sung by George Harrison.

There was a soccer match among many nations in Qatar recently. Because of this, it was in the news and we got to see people try to pronounce the name. The name of the country, it’s not pronounced the pun way. For myself, I had the correct pronunciation I stored in my brain and dumped the old one I had in the past mildly thought was correct.
I had to stare at this a minute to figure it out.

2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction show. Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, Dhani Harrison & Prince pay tribute to George Harrison. Dhani looks more like his dad than his dad did, and Prince shows why, when someone asked Eric Clapton what it felt like to be the best guitarist in the world, he said he didn’t know and that they’d have to ask Prince.
(watch to the end to witness Prince’s amazing evaporating guitar).
