Harry Nilsson: Good Old Desk

Subject: Harry's "good old desk," his reliable object in his life.
Occasion: The 70's.
Audience: Adolescents, adults, religious individuals.
Purpse: To demonstrate how his desk is his escape, it's always there, etc.
Speaker: Harry Nilsson
Tone: Carefree, happy, caring, loving, thankful.

Nilsson is talking about his figurative desk, the thing that is always there for him. When he's upset he can turn to his desk; he can do the same when he is happy, angry, worried, confused, or anything else. His desk is like a good friend to him.

Good Old Desk is a symbol for Harry's relationship with God.
Support:
1. "It's a pleasure to see it's waiting there for me to keep my hopes alive."
2. "It's the one thing I've got, a huge success."
3. "It's the friend I've got, a giant of all times."
