Blaze director on why it's time for us all to act like grownups and demand integrity from our elected officials
FEATURES
The Blaze Issue
A larger-than-life character who met an early and tragic death, Blaze Foley was part of the outlaw country sound of the 70s and early 80s and a fixture in the pages of The Austin Chronicle. Academy Award nominated writer-director-actor Ethan Hawke has now brought to screen the story of the brilliant, outrageous singer-songwriter. The Austin Chronicle is proud to present this special issue dedicated to all things Blaze, guest edited by Austin native son Ethan Hawke.
