Do you know who Harry Nilsson is?
Okay, let me rephrase that; Do you know anything else about Harry Nilsson besides the fact that he sang that amazing opening song for Midnight Cowboy?
Well, if not—or even if you do, and you sleep with a copy of Schmilsson under your pillow—you should really watch Who Is Harry Nilsson? (And Why is Everyone Talkin' About Him?). Like, now. I'm sure you can find it at one of Portland's excellent video rental stores; otherwise, it's one of those ones you can watch instantly on Netflix (right along with Blue Crush and Revenge of the Bridesmaids). It is a thorough and engaging portrait of a man who is arguably one of the best singers and songwriters of the times.
