I actually had to get reconditioned to like Nilsson again. The "Lime in
the Coconut" song was one of the classic songs, overplayed on the radio
until you couldn't stand it or him anymore. But Nilsson Schmilsson and
Son of Schmilsson got me back on board again.
I still clearly remember the 7-Up shooting out my nose the first time I
heard "You're Breaking My Heart". Which is strange, because I was
drinking milk at the time.
Which leads me to Kirsty MacColl, who wrote the world's greatest
post-breakup "getting the last word in" songs. Nobody could tell 'em
off like Kirsty... I saw her play in San Francisco in support of
Titanic Days, and after she did "Innocence", she said, "That got
'im!" She was one of a kind.
