Vintage Rodeo Concert Pictures: Elvis, George Strait And More

• You want to know the worst thing about living in Houston? The heat? No. Traffic? Nope. It's the few weeks every year when all of the scum-of-the-earth rednecks from all around desend on the city like zombies from a bad movie. Poorly dressed, bad smelling zombies. Seriously, if I ever decide to fork over my hard-earned money to smell cow shit and listen to tired musical acts, you have my permission to punch me in the balls.

• Thanks for the post. Indeed, good times. If you are fond of rodeo, you should definitely check this project out. After "Ballade for a cowboy" Frederic Laffont portrays in a documentary-fiction the Canon family's story. Its main character, Clint Cannon, Rodeo champion in Houston in 2009, embodies in this movie a world: the cowboys and American dream's world. Clint only wishes one thing: to win the big championships at the end of the year in order to be able to buy a ranch, where he would live with all his family. After 10 years of shooting, Frederic Laffont gives us here a bitter-sweet story that won't leave you indifferent. Take part in this surprising French production. Become "coprod" of Cowboy Solitude and follow up Clint's live vicissitudes. http://www.touscoprod.com/ca/pages/projet/fiche.php?s_id=4&t=en&l=en

• Man I would love to have one of those Ford Broncos today. www.privacy-tools.it.tc

• I saw Elvis during the 1970 performances at the rodeo. He wore the black leather during those shows. I went all three nights and payed a buck each night to get in. Had to hitchhike from Almeda to get to the shows but worth it even when I didn't get a ride.

• Wow days gone by, thanks HP lots of real good memories in these photos. Remebering when I was a kid growing up here, to bad the city has gone to hell.
