It’s a week-ending current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog here in an America where we can’t help but wonder why elderly, decrepit Bono never writes songs for the dead and/or raped victims of illegal immigrants. Or their children. He should be asked that question every time he plugs his latest pathetic effort.

R.I.P. Robert Duvall. This year we say goodbye to this monumental actor like we said goodbye to his friend and fellow thespian giant Gene Hackman early last year. Most tributes will cover Duvall’s roles in his many, many films whose titles are household words. This being Balladeer’s Blog I’ll instead look at some of his overlooked gems. 
TOMORROW (1972) – Robert Duvall – who called this one of his favorite performances – plays poverty-stricken farmer and sawmill operator Jackson Fentry of Mississippi.
