On this episode we talk with Jason Stanford, former chief of communication and community engagement for the Mayor of Austin, Steve Adler. We speak to him about the Great Breakfast Taco War, the book he co-authored, Forget the Alamo, and other taco wars. We begin with José telling us how Texans take everything personally. Especially as it relates to food. That character trait or flaw, whatever you'd like to call it, occasionally causes a big to-do. One of those occasions occurred in February 2016. That's when Eater.com writer Matthew Sedacca's story about Austin being the birthplace of the breakfast taco. Many San Antonioans lost their minds and took to social media. A  tongue-in-cheek Change.org petition to ban Sedacca from Texas was also published. Eventually, Eater quietly revised the text to state Austin popularized the breakfast taco. But the writer's misunderstanding of the Texas staple remained. In his story, the journalist writes, “The recipe is simple: take a tortilla, and stuff with desired breakfast ingredients—eggs, processed yellow cheese, pork, etc.” Anyone who has glanced at a breakfast taco menu in San Antonio and South Texas knows this is untrue. The range is great, including carne guisada, barbacoa, pork chops. The diversity is greatness. Soon after, Texas radio stations got involved, TV stations threw in their hats too. Then the mayors got involved. The vitriol was palpable. Austin Mayor Steve Adler didn't help things. He held rallies where he shouted the bona fides of Austin tacos and even in a fervor declared he would lead a march on San Antonio.   It was never known if that claim was scripted but there were scripted takes on the breakfast taco war and other things. The person behind that was Jason Stanford. Stanford's newsletter explained that San Antonio didn't understand that Austin's mayor was joking at the time. Like many of Austin's moves, it was a PR stunt with a sprinkling of cynical humor. San Antonio was ultimately a punchline. FACO: “Remember The Alamo” is a phrase sprinkled with racism. It's a dog whistle.   TAQUOTE: “The odds always favor the tortillas like the salsa flavors of the taco.”   SOCIAL MEDIA Jason Stanford: https://twitter.com/JasStanford   Isidro Salas: https://twitter.com/10ktacos   José R.

July conversation with writer Chris Tomlinson on his book "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth," co-written with Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford for Penguin Press. Suggested by Wally, Joel and Mark.

Join us as we talk with Chris Tomlinson about his new book, Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth, co-written with Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford. Every nation needs its creation myth, and since Texas was a nation before it was a state, it's no surprise that its myths bite deep. There's no piece of history more important to Texans than the Battle of the Alamo, when Davy Crockett and a band of rebels went down in a blaze of glory fighting for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. However, that version of events, as Forget the Alamo definitively shows, owes more to fantasy than reality. Just as the site of the Alamo was left in ruins for decades, its story was forgotten and twisted over time, with the contributions of Tejanos--Texans of Mexican origin, who fought alongside the Anglo rebels--scrubbed from the record, and the origin of the conflict over Mexico's push to abolish slavery papered over. In our conversation, Chris explains the true story of the battle and walks us through the creation of the Alamo myth in the Jim Crow South of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As uncomfortable as it may be to hear for some, celebrating the Alamo has long had an echo of celebrating whiteness. Join us for this riveting and important conversation. 

Jason Stanford of Texas will be our guest.

The legend of the battle of the Alamo is not only an intrinsic part of Texas lore but is enshrined in the American imagination—a band of fiery rebels fighting for independence who die as martyrs in the cause of liberty. But a new book, “Forget the Alamo!” argues that the Alamo myth is just that—an allegory that tells us what we want to believe about the Alamo, but not what actually happened.  Written by Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, and Jason Stanford, “Forget the Alamo!” has not been without its critics. A recent event at the Bullock Texas State History Museum was cancelled hours beforehand by Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, who called it a “fact-free rewriting of Texas history.”  Guest host LBJ Library Director Mark Lawrence talks to two of the book's authors—Bryan Burrough and Chris Tomlinson—about what history really says about the Battle of the Alamo and why the myth that so many want to preserve has endured so long.

(7/7/21/) Every nation needs its creation myth, and since Texas was a nation before it was a state, it's no surprise that its myths bite deep. And no piece of history is more important to Texans than the Battle of the Alamo, when Davy Crockett and a band of rebels went down in a blaze of glory fighting for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. But as Vanity Fair correspondent Bryan Burrough reveals in his new book Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth, co-authored with Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford, that so-called historical retelling is nothing more than a fantasy. Join us for a clear-eyed look at this legendary chapter in American history in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.

My guest this week is Jason Stanford. His book, which he wrote with authors Chris Tomlinson and Bryan Burrough, is called “Forget the Alamo: the Rise and Fall of an American Myth.” It was published earlier this month by Penguin Press and is an Amazon Bestseller.Jason also publishes a very good weekly newsletter called the Jason Stanford Experiment and I recommend it. Subscribe at jasonstanford.substack.comJason and I talked about how what we know of as the story of the battle of the Alamo came to be, why its been only fairly recently that those 13 days in Texas history have been subject to academic rigor and the impact Phil Collins  has had on the current debate — yes, that Phil Collins.

Gov. Greg Abbott recently signed into law the “1836 Project” to promote Texas history. Author Bryan Burrough joins host Krys Boyd to talk about arguably the state's most famous story – The Alamo – and why its role in preserving slavery is often written out of Texas lore. His book, written with co-authors Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford, is “Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth.”

FORGET THE ALAMO? Not in this lifetime, Bubba! Ho, ho! Best selling authors Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford join us this week to discuss their new lightning rod-cum-New York Times Notable book for the month of June “Forget The Alamo.” Stanford and Burrough (along with third author Chris Tomlinson, who had a scheduling conflict) discuss the factors that led them to write their book, the differences between The Heroic Anglo Narrative and historical truths, and how The Alamo is shorthand for deep seated pain and racism for many of their Tejano brothers. The book is thoroughly sourced, well written, and thought provoking – if you read it, you'll be taken by many of their descriptions of the battle of the Alamo, and the brutality of life on The Frontier, and the making of Texas as an independent nation and as a state. It's a complicated story that has been simplified into something like a biblical parable – and no one ever gets mad about what's in The Bible do they?

Remember the Alamo? According to Texas lore, it's the site in San Antonio where, in 1836, about 180 Texan rebels died defending the state during Texas' war for independence from Mexico. But in a new book, Bryan Burrough (along with co-writers Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford) challenge the historical lore of the Alamo — including the story that Davy Crockett refused to surrender. "Most academics now believe, based on Mexican accounts and contemporary accounts, that, in fact, [Crockett] did surrender and was executed," Burrough says. His book is 'Forget the Alamo.'Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews 'Republic of Detours' by Scott Borchert.

Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth by Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, Jason Stanford “Lively and absorbing. . ." — The New York Times Book Review "Engrossing." —Wall Street Journal “Entertaining and well-researched . . . ” —Houston Chronicle Three noted Texan writers combine forces to tell the real story of the Alamo, dispelling the myths, exploring why they had their day for so long, and explaining why the ugly fight about its meaning is now coming to a head. Every nation needs its creation myth, and since Texas was a nation before it was a state, it's no surprise that its myths bite deep. There's no piece of history more important to Texans than the Battle of the Alamo, when Davy Crockett and a band of rebels went down in a blaze of glory fighting for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. However, that version of events, as Forget the Alamo definitively shows, owes more to fantasy than reality.

Forget the Alamo provocatively explains the true story of the battle against the backdrop of Texas's struggle for independence, then shows how the sausage of myth got made in the Jim Crow South of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As uncomfortable as it may be to hear, celebrating the Alamo has long had an echo of celebrating whiteness. In the past forty-some years, waves of revisionists have come at this topic, and at times have made real progress toward a more nuanced and inclusive story that doesn't alienate anyone. But we are not living in one of those times; the fight over the Alamo's meaning has become more pitched than ever in the past few years, even violent, as Texas's future begins to look more and more different from its past. It's the perfect time for a wise and generous-spirited book that shines the bright light of the truth into a place that's gotten awfully dark.

A few weeks ago, I had my cousin on the show to talk about Oran Roberts, the most important Texas you never heard of. As is often the case, especially where conversations with Jon are concerned, we talked about a lot of stuff that didn't make it into the interview. Well, I saved that part of the interview for a special edition I'm calling “Remnants.” We talked about the civil war, politics today and … well, little known facts about the Louisiana Purchase. Also, Program Notes:Live event 7 p.m. June 10 at @texasbeerco with @jamestalaricoLater in June, Jason Stanford sits in to talk about his new book, Forget the Alamo.

With audio quality leaving much to be desired, the crew of Salty Jason’s Revenge are joined by the Commodore himself: Jason Stanford. Recording from a restaurant in NYC and the VanStanford’s kitchen in Austin, Frank, Elie and Jason talk about the most recent batch of primaries, the legal decision that forces #PresidentGoodBrainBestWords to unblock people on Twitter. This week’s voyage ends with a game of “yes or no” in which Jason and Frank do their best to make Elie blush after resurrecting the “Area Man” gag and deeming Elie as “adorable”. Jason said he had the initial idea for the podcast to be a lifestyle podcast and he finally got it and he’s recognized a new Upper Midwest fetish of Buttermilk Subs and Doms. Insider Guide: BOFA: According to Urban Dictionary, Bofa is a slang shortening of “both of,” and is generally followed by deez nuts, which means “testicles.” These words, when used in combination, are part of an online pranking meme. “Area Man” is an old gag, for example:
