Another brilliant column from publisher Eddie Muller, film noir history savant and a great American defender of democracy.

@noirfoundation.bsky.social Eddie Muller, like Bruce Springsteen, is a great American who understands what genuine patriotism is. Both men know their history.

I just got back from France and you wouldn't believe how accessible the dog shit is over there. On practically every block's sidewalk. Even in a scenic town called Vence, the lovely old bridge allowed pedestrians on just one narrow side and, boom, sure enough, dog shit!
