Page "Clint, Texas" Paragraph 11
from
Wikipedia
I woke up just as we were rolling down the tremendous Rio Grande Valley through Clint and Ysleta to El Paso.
To our left across the vast Rio Grande spaces were the moorish-red mounts of the Mexican border, the land of the Tarahumare ; soft dusk played on the peaks.
Straight ahead lay the distant lights of El Paso and Juarez, sown in a tremendous valley so big that you could see several railroads puffing at the same time in every direction, as though it was the Valley of the World.
Every fifteen minutes they played a record ; the rest of the time it was commercials about a high-school correspondence course.
All the young wranglers in the West, I don't care who, at one time or another write in for this ; it's all they hear ; you tune the radio in Sterling, Colorado, Lusk, Wyoming, I don't care where, you get Clint, Texas, Clint, Texas.
And the music is always cowboy hillbilly and Mexican, absolutely the worst program in the entire history of the country and nobody can do anything about it.
