A couple of co-workers—and a family member—have challenged me on giving up my True West title and they want to know why am I stepping down this December? Truth be known, my role model is Anna Wintour. I don't know if you have heard but after four decades, Anna Wintour, the editor-in-Chief at Vogue magazine stepped down this year to make way for new blood. She is 76. I just don't think someone who is 80—and that will be me on December 19—should try and steer any magazine on a cutting edge course in this current market. It's time for new blood.
My mantra has always been, lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way!
On the other hand, if there's one thing I can never get enough of, it's the world of the old vaquero. I just dig that time frame and I don't think it gets the attention it deserves.
And speaking of people who don't get enough attention in that time frame, why do the Apache warriors hog all our respect and admiration?

And leave it to Dan The Man to design these whip outs into a clever design mix, like this:
