re: Guy find Texas theme bar in Japan

Huh. Its funny. I just read Baa Baa Black Sheep, and when Pappy Boyington was in captivity in Japan, he talked about a prison guard that was obsessed with cowboys and westerns. So they been into that shite since atleast the 40's.

Rocknrollers or rollerzoku

I played in a bluegrass band in Munich for awhile; every Thur. night we played at either the Oklahoma Bar or the Rattlesnake Saloon. The crowd was all gussied up in their cowboy duds. Looked just like home. There was a model train track set up on the wall that brought tequila shots to the band.

We found a hole in the wall blues bar in Bangkok we've visited through the years. When you close your eyes you would think some black dude was singing. They had some top players in there.

If you're in Kaohsiung City in Taiwan, stop by the Arkansas Diner. Run by a guy from Paragould, Ark. and his wife. Disclaimer: I learned that here on TD.

When I was stationed in Japan there was a bar in the alley that had a murial of one of Marshall Tuckers first album behind the bar and along the walls throughout. Pretty cool.
