As movies go, it was very realistic. The oil patch here around Houston is a real thing. It was then, and it still is now. Refinery work in Texas is a unique thing. So this movie is as close as most people will ever get.

Cool song and movie. I met Travolta when he was filming that here in Houston. I was a little kid, and my Dad took me to the Golden Gloves tourney at the Astrohall. Travolta was a ringside guest. I got his autograph. All I knew him as was “Vinny Babarino.” Too bad my Dad didn’t take me with him to Gilley’s too, then maybe my Mom wouldn’t have ran him out of the house.😂 My Dad had a little band on the side back then (among other things), and he played all that old stuff. Brings back a lot of memories. I’ll have to pick me up a new Stetson in his honor I suppose. Cheers to those old times🍻.

[@adamt5164]

@@erikbihari3625 I didn't really mean much by it, just that he was acting in a movie. However, I think the success of the movie and the success of some of the songs on the pop charts, not just the country charts, contributed to the urban country music movement (although country rock already existed - not by any means the beginning either as Glen Campbell's Rhinestone Cowboy was the #2 song for all of 1975.) More in regards to Travolta though, he's a good actor who played many different types of roles.

[@MrKsan05]

I'm sure a lot of people think or say this same thing but when I was young (A long time ago) My wife and me were a complete pair of Bud and Sissy from this movie, except instead of bull riding it was other things, but we acted the same, had the same arguments, the same way things in this show played out (Almost). this movie will always have a special place in my heart. Enjoy your time, life feels like it goes by as fast as dawn to dusk, and it is over. My brother died when he was 16 and I was 15, today is my 54 birthday and I'm going to the funeral of my 1st cousin, who died in a truck wreak, this past saturday, we grew up together and now I'm seeing everyone around me leaving this world. What I'm trying to say is life is hard, and it is short, if you find someone you truly love, don't let some minor nothing get in the way of that, it is special, and you hold onto it and fight for it.

[@scottwilliams8334]

Me and my wife felt the same way. Except, we went to Gilley's every weekend. And, I rode the bull dozens of times.

[@bbrocs1]

This touched me. I'm 54. Can't get over that the movie is now like 43 years old. Find that special someone and try to stick together through thick and thin. You Can sub the electric horse for a lot of other life obstacles....

Quando precisamos relaxar e nos desligar do mundo, uma forma de fazer isso é através de uma boa música. Saber tocar ou cantar é uma dádiva, mas mesmo quem não tem, o chamado, dom musical... Também pode recorrer a uma linda canção, para aproveitar o melhor da vida. Uma boa música faz o pensamento viajar, alimentando a imaginação com acordes e ritmos que tocam a nossa emoção... A vida tem sons, que pra gente ouvir, precisa aprender a começar de novo. É como tocar o mesmo violão, e nele compor uma nova canção... Músicas e vídeos sempre muito bonitos, e emocionalmente selecionados. Quanto mais maduros, e conscientes nos tornamos, melhores e mais acertadas, são as nossas escolhas... Show!... Bons Tempos. Um Excelente Vídeo e Uma Linda Musica. Bela Edição. Parabéns. Uma Bela Postagem. Valeu!... Grande Abraço. Um Lindo Dia e Uma Feliz Quarta-feira... (H.R.)💕💓💗💖💝💘❤❤‍🩹💫💦💦

I came to Houston in 1982 when I was 6, 7 years old with my family from up north, better jobs for my parents and getting away from harsh winters, this was the Houston I remember, a smaller downtown, and VERY "honky tonk". Yes Houston had diversity and a cosmopolitan base, even back then you would see a Vietnamese family or Indian family live right next door to these white urban cowboys, but it was more low key than today. The good ol' boy mentality was strong in 80s Houston. Houston was very much a honky tonk town I would say until somewhere in the late 80s or 90s when it died down. It was not uncommon in 1982 or even 1990 to see people dressed like cowboys and cowgirls for just a regular day, most people did not dress cowboy, about 30-40% of the population did, but that was enough to be noticeable, today it's only during rodeo time in February and March you see people dress "cowboy", the people who do that on the regular now are more like 5% or less.
