   Does Chapin really love his Whitman stand-in?

   • The title of the album on which the song appears is Sniper & Other Love Songs, which sounds like a grotesque joke until you realize that Chapin does actually love his Whitman stand-in. Chapin sees his protagonist as just another misbegotten schmoe, motivated by loneliness and the absence of love.

   Does Chapin think snipers are monsters?

   • Throughout the song, Chapin cuts back to other interviewees, all of whom admit that they never paid much attention to the sniper in life. Eventually, you start to suspect that Chapin regards them as the true monsters. This shouldn’t have surprised anyone familiar with Chapin’s work.

   What was Harry Chapin's most popular song in the 1970s?

   • The nine-minute-plus tune, released in 1972, stands with “ Timothy ” and “ Disco Duck ” as one of the most-disturbing songs of the 1970s. Harry Chapin specialized in ponderous, sentimental story-songs about everyday people— nostalgic cab drivers, small-town dry cleaners, loveless diner waitresses.
