Richard Harris talks about MacArthur Park and Jimmy Webb

[@sophieallen5613]

Am obsessed with Richards Harris's version of MacArthur Park... I will definitely be reading your book.

[@JoeElvis2009]

Thank you Sophie, that song has been my anthem since I was a kid! Enjoy the book!

[@WarDog793]

Thank you so very much, Joe! This interview with Harris explains a lot. I think he did a wonderful job with the song, in spite of a lot of detractors who just don't get the lyrics or like Harris's voice (and they're welcome to their Philistine opinions; we fans *know* better.)

[@jasonbeard4713]

I never knew of his book. I shall search and hopefully find. Applause to you for the Harris spoken words. Quite a vocalization from a most unique personality. The song, in its textures, never fails to make me pause and enter my memory's playground. I give you my appreciation. Be well.

@@jasonbeard4713 thank you. The book is on Amazon and in Irish shops still. Enjoy

I always thought he was one of the best actors of all time. Much better than most famous than him but certainly the best out of Ireland. He was also hell of a human being. Always forthright & adventurous.

I can imagine there's a resurgence thanks to the usage of the song in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. I would love to think Richard Harris would've gotten a kick out of it.

[@MrsRosencranz1]

I adore, simply adore, the middle section, as well. Moves me like no other bar of music. Just so unbelievably thrilling. Does need a good actor. Glen did very well for a non-actor in his interpretation.
