Henry Fonda as Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath:
And speaking of Tom Joad, here’s Bruce Springsteen and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine signing about his ghost. A song that includes these lines:
He pulls his prayer book out of a sleepin’ bag
The preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
He’s waitin’ for the time when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box ‘neath the underpass

(The other passage was a line from James Joyce’s Ulysses)
