In 1978, rock icons Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth of the legendary band Van Halen were captured outside a McDonald's in Crestwood, Missouri, just a short distance from the KSHE 95 Real Rock radio station. The image offers a rare glimpse into the early days of the band's rise to stardom, when they were still establishing their place in the rock scene. At this time, Van Halen had recently released their self-titled debut album, which would go on to become a game-changer in the world of rock music.
The photograph also highlights the contrast between the larger-than-life personas that Van Halen would soon become known for and the more humble, everyday moments they shared during their rise. Despite their rockstar status, this casual moment—grabbing a bite at McDonald's—shows that the band was still very much grounded in the experiences of young musicians on the road, away from the glamor and chaos of their future fame.
In the years following this snapshot, Van Halen would achieve worldwide success, with Eddie's groundbreaking guitar solos and Roth's charismatic stage presence. This moment outside a McDonald's in Crestwood, Missouri, serves as a poignant reminder of the band's humble beginnings and the unpredictable nature of rock and roll stardom.

Here is one of the "greatest generation" people who made this country great. This is a picture of Clifton Clowers plowing his field at the age of 100. Clowers was the subject of a Merle Kilgore hit song called "Wolverton Mountain." Mr. Clowers lived to be 102 (1891 - 1994) where he actually lived and farmed that land on Wolverton Mountain. A solid American who was just who he was, although he rubbed shoulders with a lot of famous people after the song was written about him.
That's the kind of man I want to be! Just be me, warts and all, a responsible human being plowing my own field. These were the men who made America great, we need a lot more of them today; and a lot fewer of those "give-me," "entitled" "hand-out" people in this country. Hey, plow your own field. That's what Clifton Clowers did.

"THE NIGHTHAWK IN HIS NEST," by L.A. Huffman of Miles City, Montana. No other early photographer documented life on the unfenced range so well.
The night wrangler’s hat, revolver, and whip were in the foreground. His saddle was nearby. The horse past the wrangler may have been Huffman's. Additional horses were at the bank at the upper right.
Huffman wrote that after each cowboy had caught his night horse, the remaining horses were turned loose for the night wrangler to manage. At about 2 AM he would wake the cook and light the fire for him. When the last of the dirty dishes were dropped into the sizzling kettle, the wrangler would bring in the horses. After the men of the roundup relocated to the next camp, the nighthawk would unroll his bed while the foreman was “telling off the boys for the circle,” assigning work areas for the next shift on the pool roundup.

Robert Duvall, 94, played Augustus McCrae as the most beloved character in Lonesome Dove and his legacy is as strong as ever in the cowboy culture. Duvall, who brought the character to life in the CBS miniseries more than 33 years ago, visited with our editor, Bob Welch, about what the iconic role meant to his career, and to share some behind-the-scenes stories from the set.
How did you become attached to the Lonesome Dove cast?
I read that wonderful book in 10 days. My ex-wife said it was the first book she liked better than Dostoyevsky. She said, “You must play Augustus McCrae.” I don’t see her often, but when I do, I thank her for that advice. They wanted me to play Call and I totally disagreed with that. My agent handled James Garner, too, and they wanted him to play Augustus McCrae. I told my agent, if you could get Garner to switch parts, I would do it. I would not have been ready to claim that part so intensely had my ex-wife not said that to me. My agent called back four hours later and said James Garner cannot be on a horse for 16 weeks. He declined and I took the part of Augustus McCrae. That’s the way it started.
I can’t imagine anyone else as Augustus McCrae.
At least not in that era. When we finished shooting, I said, “I can retire now, I’ve done something I can be proud of.” Playing Augustus McCrae was kind of like my Hamlet. It may be my favorite role.

- She first made a strong impression in “Certain Women” (2016), delivering a subtle yet deeply moving performance that earned her critical acclaim and numerous award nominations.
- More recently, Lily took on a leading role in “Killers of the Flower Moon” (2023), directed by Martin Scorsese, alongside screen legends Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. Her portrayal is often described as the emotional heart of the film, offering a poignant perspective on the tragic history of the Osage Nation.
- With quiet determination and artistic integrity, Lily Gladstone has carved a path that’s both powerful and deeply human. Her choices reflect not just talent, but purpose—highlighting underrepresented voices and stories with grace and authenticity.
🪶If you admire Lily and the values she stands for, wearing a shirt that honors Native American identity can be a beautiful way to show your support.
It’s more than just clothing — it’s a quiet tribute to heritage, resilience, and the voices that deserve to be heard.

CHIEF BLACK HAIR and daughter, circa 1900. The Crow (Apsáalooke) Chief (1849-1905) posed with Mary Black Hair (1896-1953) in the Black Lodge District of the Crow Reservation in Eastern Montana. The Chief’s eagle feather fan and numerous ermine danglers indicated a person of standing. Mary’s dress was adorned with elk ivories (elk have two teeth made of ivory).
Photographer Fred E. Miller had married a Native woman and was adopted into the Crow tribe in 1905. His photographs gained recognition with the 1985 publication of “Fred E. Miller: Photographer of the Crows.” PC users can click image to enlarge and view the moccasins.
