The Last American Hero

In the 1960s Tom Wolfe wrote an article in Esquire magazine about moonshine bootlegger turned stock car driver Junior Johnson. The other day as I flipped through the channels lamenting the utter banality of cable TV 'news' (infotainment avec fluff!) I found the 1973 movie based on his colorful describe of the race car driver starring Jeff Bridges. Also look for a young Gary Busey as part of his Southern-baked pit crew!
