Urban Cowboy

Spending the long weekend with son, daughter-in-law, daughter and Aussie, we did a lot of talking about lots of stuff. Being family we agree and disagree, but one thing we all gave a big nod to was that Urban Cowboy was one of the best movies ever. John Travolta was the perfect Bud; Debra Winger was the perfect Sissy; and we all know someone like Scott Glenn's Wes Hightower. Also Looking for Love is the perfect country/western song. If you're too young or too old to remember this movie, rent it on DVD and enjoy a real Texas story with a universal theme.

Think about this: The role of Bud was written for Dennis Quaid and Michelle Pfeiffer was originally cast as Sissy.
