[[Harry Dean Stanton]] is without question one of my favorite character actors, if not my favorite. He has been in a number of great movies with some amazing roles—I’m thinking [[Cool Hand Luke]], Alien, [[Escape from New York]], [[Pretty in Pink]], Paris, Texas, [[Wild at Heart]], etc. And I certainly echo the following sentiment articulated [...]
Yesterday I caught up with my favorite Folklorist, Dr. Gary Stanton. Gary is a member of the Historic Preservation department at UMW, and whenever I drop by I am guaranteed a long, fascinating discussion about all things American culture.

This may very well be the beginnings of a more sophisticated tag cloud, directory, searchable [...]
