RIP Dolly
I am so very sad to hear that Dolly Parton has died. She was one of the good ones: She donated millions to support the development of the Moderna COVID vaccine, started the Imagination Library, giving millions of free books to children around the world and she covered 100% of books, fees, and tuition for any of her employees going back to school. She could write music, sing songs and act up a storm along with the best of them. And she did it all bedazzled from the top of her sky high hair to the tip of her platform shoes.

The Beauty Of Paris, Texas
I am going to have to watch this movie again. It was directed by Wim Wenders, written by Sam Shepherd with music by Ry Cooder. At the 1984 Cannes Film Festival, the film won the Palme d'Or. I’ve seen it, probably more than once, but can’t recall anything about it.
