A tribute to Clint Eastwood, the Coen Brothers, The Sundance Wives, Sergio Leone, and Ennio Morricone. Welcome to the production of Jett Durango!

For a Few Dollars More


women riding

for justice and praying

for the hemp halter to snap

the ugly


horses carry

clods of retribution

the hoof pick bleeds religious

morality and consequences are a

tell-tell whiff of ground gone bad


the lambskin coats

the women wear pad from

the bees' nest and for a few

dollars more they sell their story

to hollywood the hive of paparazzi honey

the good the bad and the ugly all in the same

cup at Macy's tea room stirring the controversial buzz


sergio leone still

an icon today as he was

then for the spaghetti western

which brought us to eastwood and

the jewish upbringing of the coen brothers

is served to us on a china plate to go with

our tea where kosher shabbos torte could have

been served for the last supper in an old west

shanty town that harbored corrupt priests and reprobate

snake-oil salesmen for a few dollars more trying to make

a fast buck roll the screen credits ennio morricone play that

spaghetti western music

It sure was a great rewrite of history. With a little bit of the truth leaking through. Satisfying our desire for heroes which seems to be an insatiable thing.

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.

Another Way of Being by Sion Liscannor

A (shockingly) truthful autobiography with elements of fantasy, philosophy, and historical fiction.

Zara's Bois by Gracie McKeever

When the powers-that-be make the decision to return a selfish party-girl, Zara, to Earth on three missions of redemption, can romance and mayhem be far behind? One hot and trendy gay nightclub, two bickering angels and three unlikely pairs add up to
