As the country nears 250 years, we consider the frontier thesis, its shadows, and its promise. America has always valued the adventure not the destination. For more than six decades, Weir chose the road and invited us to climb aboard, reminding us that identity is made in motion and sustained by those who hold the center when the night gets loud.
This is our short tribute to Bob Weir, an American Cowboy, may he Rest In Peace.
