Peter Lorre as inspiration

Next week we'll be watching M, which stars Peter Lorre, who came to the States and was in films like Casablanca. He's the unlikely inspiration for a punk band called World/Inferno Friendship Society, which has a punk songspiel called "Addicted to Bad Ideas: Peter Lorre's 20th Century."

Here's the Times article about them.

Here's a youtube video, where they're singing "Me vs. the Angry Mob," which you will see does have connections to M.

And obviously, this song about Weimar is related to our class too.
