Nilsson - The Point!
The story of Oblio, the only round-headed person in Pointed Village.
Either I'm mellowing with age or the times have become so very bad that this sort of hippie nonsense no longer sickens me.
I've had this movie on my Tubi watchlist for about four years.

Did you know? A Canadian company is supplying armoured cars to ICE as they continue to carry out the Trump administration’s cruel and rights-violating deportation agenda.

I blind bought this as I thought it was one of the guys from Steely Dan. Alas, it is neither Walter Becker or Donald Fagen. It was produced by Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks provides backing vocals, and it was two bucks at the thrift store.
