I see. Thanks for the tip.

Western men have no reputation for celibacy, although I'm fairly positive they revered and respected "respectable" women more than we do now (to my chagrin). The scarcity of "respectable" women elevated their status. I doubt the other variety were as badly treated as seems to be the case these days either.

I'm sure if McMurtry wrote the script it is a good movie from an entertainment point of view. If I see the movie, I'll wait until it is on video like I did "Kingdom of Heaven."

There are plenty of jokes about sheepherders, although I'm fairly certain they confined their activities to sheep of the opposite sex. Granted, sheepherders and cowboys have little in common.

I just watched the trailer. Apparently they do keep it a secret. That seems to be the storyline.

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day

And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probly just ride away

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountian moringin's

Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
And them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong he's just different
but his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
