Thank you for the kind words! Texas does have some weird art pieces/scenes in some rather unexpected places (look up Marfa sometime for one example).

As for Albion's Seed, I am ashamed to admit that for as much as I refer to it and concepts from it have shaped my understanding of American culture and histsory, I, errr, still haven't read it, despite it looming on my shelf for something like ten years now. So many books, so little time!
