Who is Harry Nillson

Swanny, I agree about the 'sad crazy party monster'. The movie was actually heart breaking to watch towards the end. After it ended I just sort of sat there speechless. I wonder what his career would have been like if the Beatles didn't say he was their favorite group? If they hadn't done that, he wouldn't have made Nilsson Schmilsson and we would have probably never heard of him. On the other hand, Nilsson Schmilsson appears to be what started the downward spiral. I think the toughest part of the movie for me was to hear about the screaming contest he had with John Lennon while making Pussycat that basically shredded his vocal chords. To me that was nails on a chalkboard.

Hey Marty, what did mom think of Harry's followup album and especially "Your Breakin My Heart." My mom told me to "turn that off."

Timrhu,

"Turn that off" or "Turn that down" was like a mantra in my home. Applied to pretty much everything other than "Without You". I also recall my dad hearing "Roxanne" and saying "You're kidding, right? He gets paid for that?".

Now, as the karma wheel turns, I get to listen to my daughter and her 7 year old friends groove incessantly on Katy Perry. What goes around....

DonJr-sincere, very very sincere, thank you for making me aware of this movie. I just sat here and watched it. I am touched, moved, saddened, in awe, so many emotions. Thank you much-richard

Yes, thanks for starting this thread. I havent watched it yet, but I bought it for my wife to give to me for Christmas. She's so thoughtful!

You're welcome. It sounds like it brought out the same emotions for you that it did for me and many others.

Winoguy, yes your wife is very thoughtful and that's a great idea. I might do the same thing with some music.
