"Live at the Old quarter" is a great record. His best line in a song to me, "There ain't no dark 'till somethin' shines..." from Rex's blues, I think.

Have not seen it, but I want to.
And it was filmed in NM.
A little bit in Albuquerque, but mostly East of here out on the flat.

Finally found it in a Redbox.
Just finished seeing it.
Thought it was a little slow in places, but overall a pretty good movie.
It didn't end like I probably thought it would.
If you haven't seen it, I recommend that you do.
Didn't know that Buck Taylor had a small role.

We have had a week or so of snowing and freezing. Now warmer weather
and rain is expected. I look for the high water. Hope Hell doesn't come
with it.

Thought the strength of the movie, which I much enjoyed, was watching and listening to Jeff Bridges as the Texas Ranger.
Bridges spent quite a bit of time with the late great legendary Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson of Alpine, Texas to pick up the mannerisms and dress of his character. And it worked.

Nick Nolte did the same for Extreme Prejudice. Apparently he spent 3 weeks with Ranger Jackson on the job. Love it...
A great movie. Nolte really got the JJ "look".

I correspond with a nurse in Chicago, who writes fan fiction.
She asked me if cops here really wear 10 gallon hats. She had just seen this movie. But she called the cop a sheriff.
Was he really a TX Ranger then?
I told her that many businessmen and politicians as well as lawmen do wear big Stetson and Resistol hats. Mentioned that TX DPS troopers wear such hats, but that Rangers often wear large ones. Told her that the Ranger service dates to 1835.
Very rarely does Hollywood portray a Texas Ranger authentically. The innate Hollywood cultural and political prejudices work against that.
Today's Rangers aren't the basic state police. They're a smaller elite investigative force, one of the most famous, on par with the FBI, Scotland Yard, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The state crime lab is also one of the finest .
