Z IS FOR ZORRO, BUT WHY?

There are some things even an old guy is too young for. TV in the 50's sported a show called Zorro starring Guy Williams, pictured. I vaguely remember it.

It seems he was a cowboy who killed Bad Guys. After he had righted wrongs, his signature Z was slashed into, into..something. And how it got there, a bullwhip I think. But that's where memory fades.

Graffiti artists, and I use that term so loosely, today would have loved him. I mean I guess that's why they make bubble drawings on walls and call them art. That's their signature. To me, the drawings look very elementary. And their medium? Spray paint cans. Sorry. That's lost on me. Give me the plain, even worn wall. That appeals to me more.

To further compound things, some inner city teachers claim that it's art. They teach how to desecrate buildings in the name of art.

While Zorro was ahead of my time I think I'm in a time vacuum, because I'm definitely seeing this art (?) pass me by.
