Richard Harris! Who Knew?!
This is old news. I know. But I'm just sitting here in wonder after figuring out that Richard Harris the actor is Richard "MacArthur Park" Harris. Oh. My. God.
Who knew this and didn't tell me? Is there anything else I need to know?

And Jimmy Webb (By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Wichita Lineman, All I Know, Galveston) wrote the song.

I was in H.S. when the song came out... it was easy to know he sang it back then... he probably even sang/lipsynched it on Ed Sullivan.

I have no idea how I figured it out. I think I watched a video on YouTube and then looked him up on Wikipedia . . . or maybe imdb. The last five hours have been a blur so my memory of six hours ago is shot. In the last six hours, I have:
Gotten drunk Sobered up Been pulled over by po-po for having a headlight out Single-handedly disabled an M30 BMW (actually used my pinkie). It's still at the bar. I can't wait to see what's next.
