Who is Harry Nilsson…and Why is Everybody Talkin’ About Him? opened last Friday, at the Cinema Theatre, in NYC and the response was a resounding two thumbs up!! If you live in the area, we urge you to see this special film about a special friend to the Beatles and to the FEST. It is playing through this Thursday. It will also be opening soon in Los Angeles and Seattle. Pictured, just after the screening, are (L-R) Carol Lapidos, David Leaf (Producer of Who is Harry… & Producer of U.S. Vs. John Lennon), John Scheinfeld (Producer, Writer, Director), Harry’s Wife Una Nilsson, and Mark Lapidos. Photo by David Peel.

Sept 14th Update: The film is doing so well, it has been extended for another week.

Just preceding last night’s MTV Video Music Award’s show, VH1 had a special program where they counted down the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. It was no surprise at all The Beatles came in at Number ONE! They had celebs talk about The Beatles and had some good clips from various points in their careers. One cute clip shows Ozzy Osbourne saying he wanted to become the ‘fifth’ Beatle.
