Thanks to Paul Hoylen for sending me this. He swears he didn't move anything. I love it that even Taylor Swift is looking down our way with some admiration.
I voted yesterday by mail. I think it's safe to say half the country thinks I'm an idiot. Take your pick. Both sides feel the same way. It's depressing, but there you go.
How's that for a segue?

I've been reading True West off and on for decades and just discovered your YouTube page. I love it! I really appreciated your thoughts on the new Netflix Wyatt Earp And The Cowboy War show. Thank you for recommending to the directors that they get big gun historians like Paul Andrew Hutton on the show. I love his book about Geronimo and the Apache wars. It feels like Hutton has been in every western show like this since the 1990s! Last episode my husband said to me "he looks old" and I said "so do we!"

For the record, Paul Hutton has appeared as a talking head on 270 TV history shows (including the writing of 15) going back to 1992. And, yes, he is old, but not as old as me!
"It is striking how much more seriously we are likely nto be taken after we have been dead for a few centuries."

That picture of Fess Parker and his doppelgangers is really cool! That man breathed life into two American icons, Davy & Daniel. I wish Zucker would have been given the chance to do his version of Davy Crockett, any info why that didn't work out? He foreshadowed it in his Naked Gun films.
