“Philadelphia,” in which Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington gave the performances of a lifetime…
Carelessly, I had failed to realize that the music playing at the end, which seemed to embody the entire film, was a song by Neil Young.
That film is almost as though it were made by drawing all its inspiration from this song and the aria sung by Maria Callas.
I went to sleep much earlier than usual, and when I woke up and watched the legendary Western music live performance program on wowwow, it was Neil Young.
The song he began singing was ♪Philadelphia♪
John Lennon once said, “My favorites right now are Neil Young and Elton John… I can recognize a Neil Young song from a mile away.”
So many gemlike songs… Among the countless songs I love, he is now singing one of my favorites, ♪Long May You Run♪
To all of you, in place of saying good night, ♪Long May You Run♪
