George Harrison attacked by............................BEETLES?

I dasn't call it poetic (or musical) justice --- and I'm not sure it's irony -- but the fact remains that Yahoo news reports::


A memorial tree planted in Los Angeles to honor the late Beatles musician George Harrison needs to be replaced after it was infested with real-life beetles.

 The tree was planted near the Griffith Observatory in 2004 to honor the musician who passed away in 2001.
Bark beetles are common in Los Angeles and regularly feed on pine trees, the same type of tree planted at the Harrison memorial.

Harrison spent his final days in Los Angeles and was honored with the plaque including a written tribute, which reads:

"In memory of a great humanitarian who touched the world as an artist, a musician and a gardener."

Rest in Peace - O' Pine Tree...
