Dennis Quaid as Doc Holliday Front & Center

January, 30, 2018
   Just got this from the Top Secret Writer who had a speech in Bozeman, Montana:

The March issue of  True West, front and center,

at Barnes & Noble in Bozeman, Montana.

   When Kathy and I motored down to Desert Ridge to see "Hostiles" last Saturday I had to check our rack position at Barnes & Noble.

Face out at B&N, Desert Ridge, North Phoenix, Arizona

   On the way home, Kathy wanted to stop at Tractor Supply to see if they had storage bins for the garage (they didn't), but they did have this little surprise at the check out stand:

Tractor Supply, Cave Creek Road, Cave Creek, Arizona

   So, you all have your assignment. Go to your store that carries True West and make sure we are front and center. I'd love it if you included a photo of yourself in front of the rack.

   Thanks for shopping True West!

P.S. someone sent me a link to an old BBB blog post they liked and I had forgotten how cool this song is:

Like Rock & Roll and Radio

Ray LaMontagne

Are you still in love with me
Like the way you used to be or is it changing?
Does it deepen over time like the river
That is winding through the Canyon?

Are you still in love with her?
Do you remember how you were before the sorrow?
Are you closer for the tears
Or has the weight of all the years left you hollow?

Are we strangers now?
Like the Ziegfeld Gal and the Vaudeville show?
Are we strangers now
Like rock and roll and the radio?
Like rock and roll and radio

I can see you lyin' there
Tying ribbons in your hair and pullin' faces
I can feel your hand in mine
Though were living separate lives in separate places

Are we strangers now?
Like the Ziegfeld Gal and the Vaudeville show?
Are we strangers now?
Like rock and roll and the radio?
Like rock…
