…Rio actually. I'm collecting "road" and "walking" themed material to blog as part The
Crosby/Hope Road pictures came to mind. Our "adjunct road" series starts with
Road to Rio (1947). A wicked Vail played by
Gale Sondergard (
also associated with Salt of the Earth) is the arch-villain. There will be more "Road to..." movies between now and February 25, 2015. As far as I can tell, there's no hidden adjunct allegory, cautionary tale or subtext. Just a road, as in "
the road is made by walking."
Road/walking poetry and other literature is another area I want to collect and post material for
National Walkout Day: Kerouac, Frost, Machado, Rousseau, Benjamin (and his
flâneur) I don't know about you, but from now to late February is a long, long time for me to live (and blog) on movement rhetoric, exhortations to organize, calls to build community and bridges, etc. Those roads are made by walking and connecting with other walkers, i
n my case, digitally.
