Meggieprice | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 01:26 pm     I am sad, and my son Zach is really sad- he was the absolutely perfect Dumbledore in Harry Potter. I have always thought him a class act. |
Misslibra | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 08:05 pm     I liked him, he was a excellent Actor. |
Alegria | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 11:55 pm     Did anyone else hear 'Someone Left My Cake Out in the Rain' played on the radio a few times this weekend? Does anyone know what that song is about? How long does it really take to make a cake and why would someone LEAVE one out in the RAIN? Would he really NEVER have that recipe again? Are the lyrics to that song secretly about drugs or something? I liked Richard Harris too  |
Littlebreeze | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 05:31 am     Alegria, Jimmy Webb wrote MacArthur Park. In an Irish Times article, Sat., 3/21/98, JW was asked to explain the meaning of the lyrics. This was his answer.... "I always think that whatever is art need not and should not be explained, as someone once said, but I'll tell you. MacArthur Park is clearly about a love affair ending and the person singing it is using the cake and the rain as a metaphor for that. OK, it may be far out there and a bit incomprehensible, but that is what I was trying to get at. I suppose the whole thing was that I wrote the song at a time in the late 60's when surrealistic lyrics were the order of the day. It was written around about the same time as Strawberry Fields, so it probably seems a bigger deal now than it was back then. Still, the lyrics never stopped Richard Harris, Frank Sinatra, Donna Summer and any number of trash garage bands from doing it, and who else can say that about one of their songs?" RIP, Mr. Harris. |
Alegria | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 08:28 am     Thanks Littlebreeze. That was great. Much appreciated. I'm really glad that Richard Harris did not write that song (he did a terrific job of interpreting it).

Reiki | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 08:56 am     I was very sad when I heard this news. Richard Harris has always been a favorite of mine. He will always be my King Arthur. I had the priviledge of seeing him perform the role on stage many years ago, and I try to catch Camelot whenever it is on tv. Beyond Camelot, he was wonderful in everything he did. A Man Called Horse, The Molly Maguires, Gulliver's Travels and many more wonderful films. More recently he was in the Harry Potter movies. I was glad that he was able to share hls talent with a new generation. He will be missed. |
Sia | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 07:03 pm     If anyone has missed the performance Richard Harris gave in "A Man Called Horse," it is really an excellent movie that you should consider renting or borrowing from your library.
<=="A Man Called Horse," 1970 |
