Harry Nilsson-"1941" (1971) (7/7)

The closing number from Harry's BBC TV special from 1971, taking another number from his critically-acclaimed 1967 album "Pandemonium Shadow Show" which was characterized by many autobiographical references, most notably in the first two lines of the song.

Actual music about actual life events - performed with actual emotion.

Not just for a hit.

Damn near a lost art in these WalMart days and times.

@LeoJLeBrut Maybe. Don't forget that this song is about himself.

The last shot of the two guys in the catwalk above the stage is right out of Citizen Kane.
