The book also examines the impact of indigenous American mythology on contemporary identity and the development of modern popular entertainment, particularly the Hollywood film industry. Renowned for "A Ballad of the West," Bobby Bridger has written three books and has had a career in show business that spans the rockabilly to the cosmic cowboy scene in Austin, Texas; the flowering of folk music; and Broadway theater. His multifaceted talents have found expression in singing, acting, writing, painting, and sculpting. |
