(54,770 posts)In the late 1970s, I drove across country by myself. I went through Kansas trying to stay on two lane roads. About all I wanted from Kansas was to see one of those big thunderstorms. I got my wish.
Later, and maybe it was just my recollection of the book or film, I swear I was driving on this two lane road in the middle of nowhere and there were two guys dressed like Hickock and Smith (down to rolled up jeans, black hair slicked back, etc.) sitting on a couple of old suitcases hitchhiking. I sped up as fast as the old VW would go and kept looking back for the next 1000 miles. I can still envision those two guys. Now, I'm jumpy again.
I think you are right about Capote finding trump repulsive. On a late-night show like Colbert, he'd be merciless.
