“Where
was I? I had just collected my son from Heathrow, having just returned from
Australia, and drove him to his flat in Central London. His flatmate met us
at the door, looking totally shocked, and told us to come and watch the TV bulletins.
We stood for two hours in stunned silence, not able to take in what was happening.
Driving back to Gloucester that evening, and for the next three to four days,
bits of this song just kept going round and round in my head, and wouldn’t
go away. Eventually, I wrote them all down and the result is this recording,
which I hoped would purge it from my system
I
played the song to a couple of friends, and they insisted that it should go
to a wider audience, as it seems to be asking the questions that everybody is
asking, about people, God and the future, but with no answers (if there are
any of course!)
As
for trying to raise money from it, well it just seemed the right thing to do,
although if it helps anybody, that is good enough for me. As for why it sounds
like an old protest-type song that Woody Guthrie or Bob Dylan would have written,
that was just the way it came out, and I was certainly very angry when I wrote
it”
Harry
Nicholson, amateur musician and human being.
