Winslow’s historical pride seems to rest more on the lyrics of a 1970’s popular song than on its role as a stop for Santa Fe railroad passengers and US Route 66 travelers. The song – “Take it Easy,” by Jackson Browne, and made famous by a group known as the Eagles, was set on a Winslow street corner. As in much of popular music, the lyrics are built around romantic passions, and Winslow built “Corner Park” as a nostalgic salute to them. The actual wall of a gutted building serves as a backdrop to the park. It is cleverly painted to bring the imagined passions of the romantic lyrics to life. I include only part of that wall here, which features an abstracted rendezvous in one of the windows. I layered this image by using the streetlight, gleaming in the late afternoon sun, as a foreground. The 70s are now long gone, its music treasured as nostalgia for those who remember it. Winslow does not want us to forget its claim to fame, and this image tells us what it wants us to remember. (There is also a statue and another painted wall panel in this monument to "Take it Easy." I feature that part in Gallery Seventeen. Click on the thumbnail below to see it:
