Thread Name: Obit: Richard Harris - RIP
Subject: RE: Obit: Richard Harris - RIP
Three things stand out in my mind when I think of Richard Harris;
1- "A Man Called Horse"...Harris' performance made the movie;

2 "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway"...a not so well known movie, again made by Harris' performance along with Robert Duvall;

3- MacArthur Park...I hated the song but loved Harris' rendition. However, it was rather comical to watch him perform it on TV. During the long instrumental part, Harris danced the "Watusi", "Mojo", "Frug", or some other ridiculous dance. It was a hoot, not worthy of Harris.

Oh yeah, He did damned good in "Unforgiven".

Yes, somewhere out there, there is some good stuff going on!

Goodbye, Sir.
