The Cowboys:

Visiting my hometown Viborg this time and again included the intense ghostbusting in the deserted streets ,but also a joyful reunion with old (and present) Club Nova compadres extraordinaire: Rene, Martin, and Kasper.
Commemorating the passing of time, updating the comtemporary whereabouts (Kasper pointed out to me for exampe, that I in my review on my blog of Corbijns "Control" consequently had called Ian Curtis by the name Ian Smith...), Martin proposed a toast to another (yes!) Viborg-born legend, that absolutely needs a mention:

The cowboy painter Olaf Wieghorst.

Born in Viborg 1899, he immigrated to The States around 1920, and was to become one of the most celebrated painters of the Wild West, with paintings on the walls of the Ronald reagan libarary.
