What is it about this "nostalgia for a time and experience" we've never had?? Do we get memory through chromosomes??<BR/><BR/>You've inspired me to do a <I>Paper Moon</I> post. I'd forgotten that you saw it at what is now the X-rated theater in Beaumont.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on the May 31st delivery!

T...Dear Chris,<BR/><BR/>My favorite movie, my favorite book. The music of Hank Williams, coming through the tinny AM radio and sounding as thready as the ever present wind, instantly brings on nostalgia for a time and experience I never really had--maybe just a glimpse when I was a child, stolen through the rapidly closing shutters of the dying town I grew up in--Beaumont of course. <BR/><BR/>I also love Paper Moon (and the novel, Addie Pray). <BR/>Look at my Myspace blog, and you'll see that the first post was inspired by your post on Paper Moon.<BR/>http://blog.myspace.com/texophilia<BR/><BR/>On May 31, my husband and I will have our second child, conceived unexpectedly on a drunken vacation to Houston. While I'm pleased that our boy will have been created in Texas, it kills me that he won't share his sister's birthright as a 7th generation Texan. We even thought about naming him Sonny, after sweet, hapless Sonny of TLPS.<BR/><BR/>Love your blog as always,<BR/><BR/>DorothyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-55489031507719550902006-09-13T05:11:00.000-05:002006-09-13T05:11:00.000-05:00McMurtry is a great writer, no doubt about it.
