re: #261 Barefoot Grin

Ron Howard is doing an adaptation of Hillbilly Elegy. I think I’ll pass.

Egad. I started to read that book once and found the first part fascinating. Because I recall that the “hillbillies” on our block in Gary, Indiana were a separate ethnicity: nominally white, but not like the other Central/Eastern European or more WASPy families on our block.

But I lost interest after his description of the great Appalachian Exodus.
