The Inheritors

Here's a piece by two generations of the inheritors of Bob Wills' tradition.



Merle needs no introduction. Dwight probably doesn't either, but just in case, he's the guy singing when the Terminator walks into the biker/cowboy bar (called 'the Corral') in Terminator 2. The song is "Guitars, Cadillacs," which is probably his biggest hit.



The bike he steals is a Harley Davidson Fatboy. That was the first bike I ever knew I wanted, and it was surely this movie that made it so.

Talk about predictive programming. Btw, Terminator was claimed to have been originally channeled or created by a Sophia.

Apparently Skynet... I mean Alexa, is a thing now.

That movie really made Arnold into the protagonist almost. But he was the antagonist haha.

It accurately portrayed how humans, even under survival stress, often won't utilize guns against each other if they believe that it will be a kill shot. It takes military conditioning and training, Vietnam and post era style, in order to bypass this human resistance.
