Trevino Brings Plenty: Music
John Wayne Instinct
(~poetry~)
Recorded live on KBOO 90.7 FM, 17 March 05.
When I think of America and cowboys, I think of John Wayne.
John Wayne walked with a holier-than-thou attitude, he talked
with authority, he killed passionately. John Wayne portrayed
characters in movies of every noble idea that made
America’s arrogance.
Just the sound of his voice and you knew America was in the
room. If you were brown, a streak of fear would overcome
you. If you didn’t speak English you could guarantee to be a
dead man, a dead culture.
John Wayne lived by his gut instinct. He exhumed who he was
from his gut. John Wayne died with 60 pounds of impacted
feces in his gut. Much like America, John Wayne, in his
characters and ideas, was full of shit.
