JK2006	Derek was certainly around at the time - he may even have represented Harry. But I very much remember Kenny telling me he'd played him to John who had adored the songs.
Blue Boy	I watched and enjoyed the programme. He had a truly remarkable voice but also a very big self destruct streak. In the programme there was an audio interview with Nilsson in which he said that John Lennon told him that The Beatles first heard of him through their press officer, Derek Taylor.
Pete Hock	I thought the documentary was good but rather strange. Impressive and illuminating early on, but then it got more and more muddled. Apparently Lennon's production of 'Many Rivers to Cross' (which I always liked, and especially the string arrangement which he re-used for Number 9 Dream) was supposed to represent Harry's nadir. But 'The Point' wasn't mentioned at all, which I thought was a recurring project/folly for him via various media during the 70s and 80s.
Cause and Effect	It sounds like you've been in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). *I think your ego is playing funny games with you again Mr King* P.S. What time does the Muppet Show begin in Westminster today?
JK2006	Ah; cognitive distortion! Someone points out the route someone came to someone's attention and it is assumed he is claiming to have invented the wheel. Nope - that just happens to be the way Lennon got to hear about Harry. Interesting? Perhaps so; perhaps not.
