And then listen to the also great cover version by the much missed Kirsty MacColl.

Marion was a fantastic comic actor. She would have had a much bigger career, I think, if Hearst hadn’t insisted on her making so many drama films. She was by no means a terrible actress, but she was very good in comedy.

My years in the Navy made me feel strange without a hat on when I was outside, but never inside. Only when under arms (guard duty), are you allowed to wear a cover indoors, so I never wear one indoors.

Haven’t tried that one yet.

Eton College is a good scent.

As someone who uses T & H Trafalgar shave cream, soap and body wash myself l, I can judge you as being a very wise man.

That the Baroque era of music ended with the death of JS Bach.

I have worked in that setting for many years and although I could nitpick certain things, I understood the artistic point of the choices she made and think it’s a valuable insight into aging and senior healthcare.

I didn’t see it there, but have you seen FAMILIAR TOUCH by Sarah Friedland? I think it’s very good and hope it gets better known.

Lovett can be seen to the right of Nanci Griffith dancing with a girl on the cover of her album Last Of The True Believers in 1986.

When I worked at a hospital I never dressed up for Halloween, I felt it was inappropriate to do so around sick and injured and anxious and stressed people. I suppose it is ok for people in admin areas, but not patient care areas.

Those look great. I started out with a cheap tenor because I thought I would like that size best, but I find the concert more comfortable to hold, and I have come to love playing the soprano even more.

He also released 3 or 4 heavy metal albums late in life.

Not really. Trump is trying to build a fascist state, but he’s not yet done it.

No, that’s not what he said. He has said that Trump and his minions have fascist ideology, but that the government itself is not yet a fascist government. We do not currently live in a fascist state.

And you even gifted it, so they couldn’t even complain about a paywall. If they were smart, they’d just subscribe like I do.

I love Lola, Barbara Sukowa’s version of Capri Fischer is such a favorite that I bought the soundtrack to the film just for that. My favorite RWF is Maria Braun, but I have had a long time crush on Hanna Schygulla, so that’s no surprise. My wife always teased me about that. 😀

It’s quite bizarre, but if you like Fassbinder it’s worth a watch, but Fassbinder is certainly an acquired taste. My late wife HATED his films. I am a long time fan.

Here’s how I avoid that problem. I am a long time collector of Criterion Collection editions of movies that I really like.

Rent or buy, streaming, not a physical copy.

As a native of Alabama, there was a time that I would have taken issue with your assertion that education played a role, but since relocating to your home state, and watching the south fall for Trumpism, I can only say that I was wrong about the ability of my fellow southerners to think critically.

Sullivan’s Travels is available on Prime Video.

I subscribe to a few magazines, and The Atlantic is the best of them. (It’s also my only US subscription, even though I live in the US.

Would love to know why they think Metropolis is unwatchable today.
