Song of the Week

One of my other favorite forms of music is Cowboy music (which is neither country nor western). I also love Cowboy Poetry, especially when it is spoken word.

I had, when I was teaching computers, a whole lesson plan built around the exploration of the west, the culture of the Native Americans and the mythology of the American Cowboy. The cowboy is probably the most uniquely American mythology there is. Because of that, it's often disregarded and belittled. What I find most interesting is that so many people condemn the cowboy and then go on to create characters that embody everything that cowboys were.
