The Joe Jackson Interviews

Richard Harris: A Poem, Tears and his Primal Pain. A tale of fathers and sons from Richard Harris Raising Hell and Reaching for Heaven.


Listen Later

At the heart of my best-selling Richard Harris biography is a tale that tells of the seminal bond between Richard Harris and myself - and it is a tale with which many fathers and sons, and mothers and daughters, will relate. Sadly, this aspect of Harris's life, soul, and psyche was not an area of exploration in the released version of the 2022 film The Ghost of Richard Harris, of which I was an associate producer and that used my tapes to voice the 'ghost.' It was part of an earlier cut that included the poem Richard recites in this podcast, On the One-Day Dead Face of My Father, but is not in the final cut. The poem brought me to tears when I first heard it in 1972. And reading it for me in 2001 left Richard in tears. Some wounds never heal. My book, Richard Harris: Raising Hell and Reaching for Heaven, is nearly sold out in hardback, so grab it while you can, if you want.
