Owned the most famous honky tonk in history and had a freaking movie made about it even...loved that soundtrack. Still do. American Pickers stopped by his place a while back, great episode.

Never made it to Gilley's, but Council Bluffs had The Joker that had a C&W room with a mechanical bull.

Well, yeah. I was never a huge country music fan, but I have been to some country bars back in the day. Also, saw Willie at Billy Bob's in 2017. That was a bucket list thing. RIP mom!
