***Is it any good? ***
Yes. More realistic than the others.

You will NEVER look at GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL, HOUR OF THE GUN, DOC, or MY DARLING CLEMENTINE in the same light again.
Don’t know about WYATT EARP with Kevin Costner as I have never seen it. After seeing TOMBSTONE I don’t need to.

Men are not allowed to be men anymore due to the fact that women have been whining their way to be like men for over 100 years. The last 60 years has seen an acceleration of females shunning the "rugged man" in real terms/everyday life, however keeping that ideal confined to their own fantasies/at a safe difference away from real life.

Females desire the "power" that men have and have been using academia, media, and the government to grab hold of the "masculine ideal", while shaming men who have the audacity to return to his "Neanderthal" ways There is a very good reason while the Word says females must submit. Ladies, if you want men back, start attacking your own kind that a scared of the patriarchy and use government, Human Resource depts., academia, media, the Church etc... into suppressing masculinity in males.

56’ Chevy is my favourite all time car. The song resonated with me for its content and statement.

Sorry for grammar errors, long responses on phones should be banned, lol

Amen! I was richly blessed with a Proverbs 31 wife. She’s been fiercely loyal and supportive since our first date in high school. She’s also my best friend. After all these years she remains beautiful, both inside and out.

***but is there ANY ‘western’ music any more??***

If you want the GOOD OLD STUFF go to this web site out of England. They collect and sell old US country music.
http://country-music-archive.com/

I bought some Bob Wills and Spade Cooley CDs from them. also some Light Crust Dough Boys, SONS OF THE PIONEERS, along with Hoyle Nix, also some Leon McAuliffe CDs.

Strange such American music has to be purchased in Great Britain.

[The Toll]

It is illegal to portray White Men in a positive light in America.

[crazy scenario]

" memorized the lines of Val Kilmer portraying Doc Holliday?" 

Valery Kilmer couldn't portray the lint on Doc Holiday's pud!!!!!

[Kaslin]

It must be. Otherwise they wouldn’t

[texassonofww11vet]

“common doc...why don’t you give it up? you’ve been up 36hrs...doc....i beg not sir, i have yet begun to defile myself” that’s a good line as well.

Open Range best western gun fight!

I've seen too many self-absorbed "men" ignore their wives as they practically begged them to be a leader in their family...

I've yet to meet a single Christian wife who will cheerfully follow her husband's "leadership" unless he's leading somewhere she wanted to go anyway. You can't lead those who refuse to follow.

Now coming up with "reasons" she doesn't have to follow his lead: THAT they can do with gusto.

[Tammy8]

Yes. The one with Kurt Russel as Wyatt Earp and Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday...a classic- at least in our house.

[papertyger]

I do family law and most of the men want a mother rather than be the leader of a family.

What, pray tell, ELSE is she supposed to be? Further, in my experience, most women call "leadership" allowing them to be captain of the ship till they're fifty yards from the rocks, then cheerfully return the captaincy once he's saved the ship.

[Psalm 73]

Oh, it's certainly a two-way street - but wives must submit to their husbands, and husbands must love their wives as Christ loves the church.

I think that "submission" part is very difficult, how to submit and keep your own identity - but I think if our identity is in Christ He will lead us in His way.

I put my wife and daughter's need above my own, and my wife submits to me. Not to every whim of mine, but to me as the spiritual leader of the house.
And I would lay down my life for my wife.

I am very proud to have been and still surrounded by cowboy neanderthals my entire life. And the cowboy is still out there riding fences, you just can’t see him from the road.

CHRIS LEDOUX LYRICS

“You Just Can’t See Him From The Road”

Well you don’t see him much on the big screen anymore
The kids don’t ride along with Roy or Gene
And that ain’t really him with all those feathers in his hat
And some frenchman’s name embroidered on his jeans

But he’s still out there ridin’ fences
Still makes his livin’ with his rope
As long as there’s a sunset he’ll keep ridin’ for the brand
You just can’t see him from the road

Well he never learned to two step hell he barely learned to walk
But he’s worn a lot of leather off the tree
He’s had one or two good horses that he counts among his friends
He never drew a breath that wasn’t free

But he’s still out there ridin’ fences
Still makes his livin’ with his rope
As long as there’s a sunset he’ll keep ridin’ for the brand
You just can’t see him from the road

Well he’s tall in the saddle short on the cash
The last to quit the first to buy the beer
Well he’s a knight in leather armor still livin’ by the code
That’s made him what he’s been a hundred years

But he’s still out there ridin’ fences
Still makes his livin’ with his rope
As long as there’s a sunset he’ll keep ridin’ for the brand
You just can’t see him from the road

As long as there’s a sunset he’ll keep ridin’ for the brand
You just can’t see him from the road

Actually the idea is if every man is doing his job properly the herd gets gathered. They do work together but each has his job to do and his area/personal space to do it in. Cowboys have a lot of rules of etiquette to enforce that too. For example when gathering cattle to ride your horse in front of another cowboy is the same as telling him he is not doing his job so you will do it for him. Terrible insult, there is more- lots more.

Real cowboys are very much individuals, but to see that clearly you have to know them well, and understand the life.

[papertyger]

I’m sorry. I’m really not trying to demean you, but your entire answer is cliche platitudes.

YOU are even infected with the rhetoric of feminine duplicity. “Keep your own identity?” What does that even mean? When you got married, didn’t your “identity” change? Mine sure did, and I’ve never complained about it the first time.

If you want to know how to fix this country, study the ways of women.
