"Nick Newman had replied to a tweet a few weeks back asking me what movies I would recommend. I told him to try The Unknown with Lon Chaney and go from there."

Tweeted Bob Dylan today.

I love that Bob Dylan tweets and how great he is at. The best.

Here's the starting point, so get started, and let me know what comes next:

It takes place in a circus, and "The circus is in town" is a line from "Desolation Row," giving special meaning to this response to Dylan's tweet, which takes us to a video that uses "Desolation Row" to prove that Dylan is the funniest person alive:

Mr. Dylan, I gave a talk last year in Tulsa about how you're the funniest person alive. If you would be so kind as to watch it, it would be the highlight of my life. I hope you're enjoying your time in Europe. God bless you.https://t.co/J3mN7nuJe2

ADDED: My son John has a cool website called "101 Years of Movies/My favorite movies of each year from 1920 to 2020," and "The Unknown" is on his list, not as his favorite from its year, 1927, but #3:

(1) Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans

(2) Metropolis

(3) The Unknown

(4) The Kid Brother

John writes "Joan Crawford is a circus performer who can’t stand men’s hands, while Lon Chaney plays an armless knife thrower."
