I’ll keep it brief. I saw this when I was about 15. It fucken destroyed me. I knew I was him and he was me and now I’m 50 and lo and behold I fucken am. I’m grateful to him for that. I love everything I’ve seen of his and heard and it all breaks my heart because it’s me, along with everyone else.
What does Harry mean to yoooOooooo?
An essential read/listen. It’s truly hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure and at the same time.
I’ve never come across such heartbreak and humour mixed so tenderly together as in this book and his reading of it. It’s like his appearance on the last Dave show, when all the smoke and mirrors fell away and you saw, in him, your self as a child standing there in awe and embarrassment after brushing up against something bigger than you and you realise there’s something other than everyday things going on while all those things are happening and you and everything and everyone are a part of it.
Intense nostalgia invades my mind
I made this sub just now as there wasn’t one, which is kind of baffling seeing as he was one of the greatest character actors, I’m going to go out on a limb and say, ever. Please come and share tidbits, snippets, musings, art, anything himself related that you like. Gis a nudge, do it for Harry Dean. Spread the love.
I know this streaming service there is probably definitely morally dubious and that but have a listen to this on your applicable whatever.
How does that work? I know there’s doodads you can buy and apps and whatnot, but my question is specifically how do I not legitimately not declare it as I’m in receipt of an invalidity pension and am not allowed to work at all or lose it but I’m thinking donations don’t count so does anyone have any thoughts?
I hope it’s okay to post this here. I’m just a fan trying to share the love.
( Edited to add: it says Brand Affiliate, I’ve no idea what that means but there’s zero cash or anything like that going on around here.)
A place for Harry Dean.
You could see his soul shine out of his eyeballs and hear it sing in his voice. Such vulnerability, warmth, peace, wonder, joy and sorrow. I really don’t think I’m overstating that. If ever I got truly enlightened vibes from someone off the telly and the radio, it’s this man.
I’m only starting this as there doesn’t appear to be one, which is bananas, but if it turns out there is one; I’ll happily pack it in.
I’m trying to do this off my phone and I’m a bit of a spanner when it comes to these things. I’m not ‘oldmaxxing’, I’m just asking for a little leeway on the formatting and such.
Peace.
If this doesn’t move you I’d be curling up in a hole and pulling the dirt in on meself. I love everything that he worked on and honestly, I can’t think of an actor, or person for that matter, whose soul beams straight out of their eyeballs like lasers as much. Ah no, you’d see a few, but he was amongst them for sure. An enlightened one. Go On the star stuff that constituted itself as you. Om shanti pal.
Any chance of turning into a park, bit of grass, few trees…make it beautiful like?
This has to be top contender for the funniest 10 seconds of the entire run.
