Hobo mythology permeates 20th century American culture. While not quite as pervasive or expansive as American western mythology, the myth of the American hobo enjoys a unique position in American culture in that it continues to live and evolve. In this episode of Otis Brown Podcast, I explore some hobo writing, briefly discuss the films The Wild One with Marlon Brando, Hobo, the 1992 John T. Davis documentary, and Who is Bozo Texino? the wonderful 2005 film by Bill Daniel. I offer some thoughts on hobo art and writing and consider the place of the hobo in the American mythos.
Hope you enjoy.
