Truffaut’s “Jules and Jim” is one of the best films I know. I also admire “The 400 Blows”, “Shoot the Piano Player”, and “The Wild Child”. ”The Bride Wore Black” is very underrated. I am not a fan of “Mississippi Mermaid” and “Such a Gorgeous Kid Like Me” though maybe I would like them better than I did in the 1970s.

Covers: Tomorrow Night
I’m not a big fan of “Tomorrow Night” but I am a big admirer of Lonnie Johnson who had a hit with it in 1948. See the Instragam post on him at the bottom.

More GOP hypocrisy on infrastructure
They didn’t vote for it but they want credit for it.
Covers by Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan is known best for his original songs but has recorded several albums of covers. He made two albums of blues covers in the early 1990s. Then there’s his Christmas album and three American songbook albums in this century. He has also recorded a few covers for tribute albums.
