The “Lifetime Achievement Award” was given to him by the National Academy of Songwriters. Quite an honor. He also scored the fairly recent 2019 movie The Irishman.
This song is driving me nuts. I cannot come up with “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” in my head because all that comes to me is “The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia”! Seriously, can you switch back and forth from one to the other?
I’ve got The Band playing now. I didn’t know that they wrote and sang “Atlantic City.” I thought it was a Bruce original. I used to think “Jersey Girl” was too until I found out it was written by Tom Waits.
@janbb Got the links above and listened. The problem is even after I’ve listened to it, I can’t go from one back to the other, plus when I try to think of (sing) the Old Dixie Down song, it won’t come to me. I only get the Georgia song. :D
It’s like I can’t picture both Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio…just one or the other at a time.
