“Bonnie and Clyde was a terribly overrated movie.”

But it had some great music. The version of Foggy Mtn. Breakdown used is still one of the best instrumentals ever.

The irony is that bluegrass music didn’t exist prior to WWII. Sort of like using a rap song in a film about the 1960s.

Still, it fit the film perfectly. As long as they use bluegrass in the new movie, I’m going.

Correct, although they could've gone with some Jimmie Rodgers (like "In The Jailhouse Now" or "Blue Yodel" songs...)

Well Blowfly had "Rap Dirty" in 1965 and there were The Last Poets.
