TC, thank you so much for this review and for the personal and larger historical perspective.

You have had such an interesting life, from your early years on. I like it when you weave your own memories in with what is happening now in politics and the arts. I would not have watched Billy the Kid but will now!

Thanks Tom. I appreciate historic westerns too, and have always watched for new ones to slip out. The DEADWOOD series, LONESOME DOVE, and a few other well researched and skillfully written gems remain tucked into my DVD collection. I need a break from the shitstorm of greed based foolishness that the pols in government display. They are the group who stopped their creative educations, obtained law degrees and correctly concluded that the next frontier was going to be the courts not the wilderness. They put away their guns and abandoned the old western gangs structure and instead formed law firms and became by-the-hour thieves with suits, ties and appointment schedules. Their store bore the living crap outta me.
