"There's just something about that dog . . ." Until now, little else could be said about George Rodrigue's mysterious, wildly popular icon. Finally, in his own words, the Blue Dog Man speaks out, shedd...ing light on his creation-going beyond the story of Blue Dog's early incarnation to describe in rich detail both the dog's storied Cajun roots and its brilliant, pop-infused universe of today. Blue Dog has become a touchstone of contemporary American culture, winning accolades from U.S. presidents, Hollywood stars, and ordinary people alike. Woven into this iconic character are the skeins of Cajun history-and, more specifically, the dreams, fears, and passions of its creator. Rodrigue: Blue Dog Man takes readers on an unprecedented narrated journey to the heart of a new Blue Dog generation, tracing the evolution of the Blue Dog from its origins in Louisiana legends to its myriad forays into the dazzling, multichrome modern world. Along the way, Rodrigue reflects on everything from Christianity and the afterlife to Renaissance painting, to Jackson Pollock to Andy Warhol and MTV.
