Covers: Me and Bobby McGee
The death of Bob Neuwirth reminded me of this song. “Me and Bobby McGee” was written by Kris Kristofferson and first recorded by Roger Miller. There were several other versions before Janis Joplin’s hit record which was released posthumously in 1971.

I didn’t know this about Peter Lorre
Peter Lorre was a great Austrian-Hungarian actor who starred in the 1931 German film M. He was Jewish and left Germany when Hitler took over.
He was a character actor, not a leading man. He had roles in American films such as The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca. He finished his career in low-budget Roger Corman horror films. I didn’t know the information in the tweet which explains the decline in his career.
