Figuring I was probably not the first person to notice that the “out west” had some really strange stuff in it in - not merely in pioneer days but in very recent times – I googled “weird west” and found that the term is trademarked by Pinnacle Entertainment Group. They are referring to a type of western movie that involves horror, the occult, and steampunk. But I’m simply referring to the feeling I get when I round a corner, stumble on some weird abandoned contraption or dwelling and wonder what could they have been thinking or how do you suppose that got there. None of this would ever happen around Boston. It’s the material that Conway Twitty might team up with Tom Waits to cover.
