Back on Track?
Roundin' them up in this show, our intrepid artists collected a variety of clips/tunes/effects that represented a particular view of the as-reported Wild West. It's not a unique mythos, but America - as always - buys into this mythos wholesale. Collectivisim be dammed, we're going to Manifest Destiny ourselves all the way to the other ocean using entitlement and guns.
To a certain extent, this mythos lives on today (until you get to the actual West Coast). Landlocked America welcomes you back with open arms and 24-hour Adult Superstores lining the freeway; as long as you're not too funny lookin'.
