Born 6/15/41; Had he still been among us,
Friday would have been Schmilsson's 60th.

That's all I really wanted to say.

He was very talented fellow, and I'm glad to have shared the planet with him for awhile.

I never wanted to learn any of his stuff. The only singer/songwriter, who's stuff I collected, for which that statement would be true. It has something to do with knowing how far short my efforts would fall . . .

He was an original.

Yes, Harry Nilsson was very talented. Unfortunately, he died at 53 from a massive heart attack.

The number 1 risk factor for heart attack is smoking.

Harry Nilsson was a heavy smoker.

Another talented life cut short by the stupidity of smoking.

I miss his music. Just magic stuff. The music never really goes away, luckily. I could listen to his "Without Her" (not to be confused with "Without You") all day.

I have a fantastic interview with him I taped from the radio about 15 years ago if anyone is interested.
