Friday Night Music

Okay, at first I figured I really should put up something Christhmasy, but then I remembered we liberals are waging war on Christmas, and anyway there’s one more Friday to go before the big day arrives. So I decided to stick to just regular music for one more week and do something seasonal next week, giving me one more week to find something that I haven’t put up in the past. There’s really not that many good videos of Christ as music that suit this feature. 
 
Anyway, I’ve been thinking about putting up Harry Nilsson, a somewhat unappreciated songwriter from the 60s. Here he’s singing what must have been his biggest hit, which was featured in Midnight Cowboy
 
 
According to the squibs on YouTube this is a live performance, and while I admit that he was alive at the time this was filmed, I’m not at all sure he was actually singing at the time. But I look over that, and waive my usual ban on lip syncing, because this is the best video of this song out there, and it really is a good song and deserves its moment of glory.
