Viva Villa
I missed posting this on Pancho Villa’s birthday yesterday. Considering the guy started his career as a bandit — which would normally make you rather publicity shy — I always thought one of the more intriguing aspects of his career was how good he was at using the media. Both the traditional media of northern Mexico… the corrido — but the then modern media of newsreels.
