Quotes

'Savoy Truffle' on The White Album was written for Eric [Clapton]. He's got this real sweet tooth and he'd just had his mouth worked on. His dentist said he was through with candy. So as a tribute I wrote, 'You'll have to have them all pulled out after the Savoy Truffle.' The truffle was some kind of sweet, just like all the rest — cream tangerine, ginger sling — just candy, to tease Eric.

—George HarrisonCrawdaddy Magazine, Feb 1977
