The freedom to be weird — he got us right

It’s green all the way for Anthony Bourdain | ABQJournal Online

Here is also an excerpt of a letter written on CNN’s website from Bourdain:

“The upcoming New Mexico show is not about guns. Though there are, as in much of America between the coasts, many guns there.

This show is about the American cowboy ideal, about the romantic promise of the American West, about individuality and the freedom to be weird. New Mexico, where Spanish, Mexican, Pueblo, Navajo and European cultures mix and have mixed — at times painfully and lately, more easily. New Mexico, where everyone from artists, hippies, cowboys, poets, misfits, refugees and tourists of every political stripe have interpreted the promise of its gorgeous, wide-open spaces and the freedom that it offers in their own, very different ways.

New Mexico is an enchanted land, where people are largely free to create their own world.”
