1980 introduced us to a new phenomena. The Western Craze. This new lifestyle was due largely to Paramount Pictures' “Urban Cowboy.” In the movie, John Travolta stared as a young petro-chemical worker in a big Texas city. The days were hard, and the nights were long. Most of the workers from the plant spent their nights at Gilley's, the largest bar and honky-tonk in America. At Gilley’s Travolta met his wife, Debra Winger, who faced many passionate, emotional hurdles, both marital and extramarital, as did Travolta with his mistress, the rich young Houston woman protrayed by Madolyn Smith. The highlights of the movie were the wild mechanical-bucking bull scenes. This action packed movie set the trend for the 80’s, “Urban Cowboy” .
