John Barry (1933-2011) - The Midnight Cowboy Theme

A great scene in this movie sums up a very conservative right wing view of " loneliness " as an excuse for misbehavior -very funny with a grain of truth in it : O'DANIEL [ "But I'll bet you got one thing in common with them other boys. I'll bet you're lonesome. JOE Well, not too, I mean, a little. O'Daniel rises suddenly in a fury of self-righteousness, pacing, his voice simpering, whining sarcastically. O'DANIEL I'm lonesome. I'm lonesome so I'm a drunk. I'm lonesome so I'm a dope fiend. I'm lonesome so I'm a thief, a fornicator, a whore-monger. Poop, I say, poop! I've heard it all and I'm sick of it, sick to death. JOE Yessir, I can see that. O'DANIEL Lonesomeness is something you take. You bear? Dammit, you take it and go about your business, that's all. " ]
