Not sure how it was in Baton Rouge, but in Lafayette this movie had as big an impact as Saturday Night Fever. Almost overnight, every Disco suddenly became a country bar, some complete with mechanical bulls. Even the rock bars pretty much switched over, with the exception of the biker bars on the strip.
I was there as "The Sting" disco converted over to Cowboys, the urban cowboy bar. Much fun was had!

Yes you are correct. Too much time at the Brass Rail will do that to you.

In Florida, we thought this movie was a bad comedy.
