Monday night was a ladies’ night for me and three other ladies of varying decades. A fabulous time was had by all.

Little did I know, when we were hanging out outside of the theater that several of the performers that were about to knock our socks off, strolled on past. I looked at a handsome young man, and wondered what was up with the black shirt and black jeans… he seemed too happy to be emo. And then another slightly balding man with leather pants walked in, leaving me feel better about my choice to attend the show in jeans.

In the opening number, both of these gentlemen appeared on stage before us, with their string instruments and a smile.

If you like world music, string instruments and a good time, I highly recommend Bowfire.

“I wanna be a cowboy, baby,” sings Kid Rock, an American Superstar.

A cowboy is one of the most common Halloween costumes for little kids.

While the vast open plains and cattle drives of the past are becoming more and more scarce - cowboys still exist. Sometimes on the farm, ranch, or football field, but professional cowboys can be found in the rodeo, too.

There’s been some mention of rodeos in the news, lately. From rockstars taking a stance, saying they don’t agree with it from an animal rights standpoint. I can’t argue with a person’s belief.

Myself, I’m an omnivour. I eat meat, I wear leather, and being a good Wisconsin girl, I eat cheese and ice cream, too. I use glue, eat gelatin, gummy worms, and even find gelatin in my lipstick and nail polish sometime. I’ve also been to an actual bullfight, in Madrid. So, while I believe in being kind to animals, I also believe in the circle of life.

Personally, I’d dig some Wrangler National Finals Rodeo tickets. I really get into the excitement of live events. The dirt, the animals, the crowd’s energy!

Events like riding, roping, and racing take quite a bit of talent and dexterity. Cowboys will be training all year, for what has been called the “Superbowl of Rodeo.” Las Vegas will truly become “Cowboy Town” - Brooks & Dunn have even let NFR use the song for the nightly Grand Entrance.
