Butch Cassidy Loved The Sundance Kid

The American Man is obsessed with the American West.  The American Man: all dust and dungarees; gunfights and sentimental whores.  All fast hands and some Kid or another.

Robert Redford once played the Sundance Kid on the silver screen; the fastest hands in the West.  He and his partner in crime, Butch Cassidy, lost their touch and fled south to Bolivia to escape their would-be captors.  When they arrived, they began robbing banks in broken Spanish.  The American Man is looking for companionship like that: robbing banks in broken Spanish.

The American West is not actually that far west.  It falls somewhere between the Midwest and the Mountains.  Somewhere in the dusty, rising hills between here and there.  Somewhere in the lost, dusty wilderness, anarchy rose.  The American Man wishes to cast off his chains.
