Irish

Holbrook, if you haven’t already check this documentary out. It’s a fascinating look at Harry Nilsson and his extraordinary life. His friendship with John Lennon & Ringo Star. His work on gun control after Lennon’s death. His Irish wife Una O’Keefe (who I suspect was on a J-1 when he met her). Plenty of interviews and comments from the likes of Robin Williams, Yoko Ono, Van Dyke Parks, Randy Newman, and Micky Dolenz.

Even the story of the writing of “One (is the loneliest number)” is as fascinating as the man himself.

You know we’re not all about music at LCEC. I spotted the painting below in the window of the Keeling Gallery, it’s called Delirium. The one below that is called Euphoria, and the one at the bottom, Hibernia Nirvana.  You can read and see more about Brian McCarthy’s work at http://www.artinprint.com/

More punk rock / garage band greatness from Retarded Cop

I personally hope he writes a song about Lino Ritchie’s soon.

For the day that’s in it…
