Yesterday, I drove into the Beast and spent some quality time with this guy.
Both of us have Iowa connections and he loves history like I do. John and his wife Christine, live in the house that Steve Shadegg owned. Shadegg was the guy who guided Barry Goldwater's career, in fact Shadegg was Goldwater's campaign manager in his run for the presidencey in 1964, so it's old school Arizona with a capital A.
Young Guns Forever!
Billy Bonney is back again with a new movie in the works and a new angle. Each generation finds something new to hang their hat on and every cycle produces a slew of new interpretation. The Brushy Bill angle (Garrett didn't kill the Kid and Billy lived until 1950) opens the door to a whole bunch of new Kid plots. According to Emilio Estevez, Young Guns III will feature Billy in the John Tunstall role, helping train a young revolutionary named Doroteo Arrango, better known as Pancho Villa. The roles are reversed with a young Pancho, 28, needing guidance from the aging hero of the Lincoln County War on how to be an effective, handsome killer with a cause. Emilio envisions the Kid having adventures in YGIV and beyond because if you open up the story to 1950, Billy can mix it up with Bonnie & Clyde or even The Desert Fox. Hell, you could even have Billy on Omaha Beach!
