Boro Texino is a legend and this documentary is very interestin.
muchly recomended!

this is whats it about....

Bill Daniel's homegrown epic documentary is as kinetic and raggedly
beautiful as the trains he hopped to make it. Who is Bozo Texino? is
the chronicle of a 16-year search for the source of a ubiquitous rail
graffiti - a simple sketch of a blank-staring character with an
infinity-shaped hat - a drawing seen on railcars for over 80 years.
Daniel rode freight trains across the West carrying a Super-8 sound
camera and a 16mm Bolex, interviewing tramps and brakemen. During his
quest he discovered the roots of a folkloric tradition that has gone
mostly unnoticed for a century. Taking inspiration from Beat artists
Robert Frank and Jack Kerouac, the film functions both as a
subcultural documentary and a stylized fable on wanderlust, outsider
identity, and escape. (video:55m)
