besides nathaniel west, chandler, hammett, and goodis whom are you talking 
about???

speaking of fathers looking back fondly to the thirties and 40's i think it 
bespeaks of mankind struggling with boll weevils, henry ford, and lil joe 
goebbals more than a lost love for those times. kids today have to struggle 
to learn how to sequence iPODS; kids then marched to bataan and listened to 
amos and andy.

i'd be fucking proud too.

that genration--born around 38 so,past Depression but still mindful and 
coming of age during WW II, and then becoming quasi adults during EP's Sun 
Sessions are a breed apart: tough, iconoclastic, spewing out love tenderly 
and tragically: eddie c, dale hawkins, paxton, wanda j, etta j, waylon, 
solomon, covay, orbison, dick dale, clarence carter.

tough SOB's
