.*++about the American West (think of a whole book about Crutchfield) that
.*++can be recommended.   Thanks.

.*++Well, a book(s) that comes immediately to mind is Stephen King's Dark 
Tower
.*++series - especially the first book, "The Gunslinger" which reads like 
some
.*++sort
.*++of weird spaghetti western mixed in with a fantasy world where Beatles 
music
.*++reigns.... Also, in the film area, you might wanna check out Alejandro
.*++Jodorowsky's bizarro epic religious western, "El Topo." If you thought
.*++Jarmusch's "Dead Man" was out there wait til you watch this one!
