You are also delusional if you think that sort of thing was the norm. It may have been the "norm" in the very snall "Church Lady Society" habitats,but get out of those sections of town and into the saloon/barroom sections,and it was a VERY different story.

People have a natural tendency to get nostalgic about "the good old days",but the truth is for most parts of the nation,they didn't exist . People liked to PRETEND they did,but they didn't.  Otherwise,things like child prostitution and labor wouldn't have been daily realities for the children of the poor.

Fully disagree.  Just think....  It took 30 years of cinema to get from zero to the using the word "damn" in a movie (1939).  To  now?  Anythng goes.   

I lived it and remember, and we were hardly "Church Lady Status"  Maybe your little corner of the world was more like Deadwood and was different.  But that was not the prevailing verbal morality in America.  I probably didn't hear the "F" word until I was about 9 or 10.  Now?  Find a 9 or 10 year old who probably doesn't use it.

I finally broke down and subscribed to "The Peacock Network,so I could watch "Yellowstone".

I am unimpressed. Seems like nothing more than a version of "Dynasty" set in the remote west. A freaking soap opera with unbelievable characters,like the alcoholic daughter that is SUPPOSED TO BE so smart. Who in their right mind would trust that woman to run a vacuum cleaner,never mind a corporate board?

Still looking for 1883,and can't find it even after subscribing. After Yellowstone,I'm not expecting much from it,though.

Hoping it will get better. I paid for it,so I am going to watch all 4 seasons in the hope that it does.

Honestly, I watch “Yellowstone” for the scenery. Love the mountains; love the log cabins; love the gorgeous, talented horses.
Can’t stand Beth. Poorly written character.

Do you have a thing for smelly, cantankerous, overweight, gimped up cowboys too?

Those two old 6666 hands sitting on the bench in the barn and I would get along just fine!

Me too... Though I am a cousin to em... I can live in the cowboy world up in here, but down by you, probably too much hillbilly in me for polite society. Never going to have that buttoned down Jon Pardi / Randy Travis thing...

Not that it matters to me... You and me will see eye to eye most the time.

I seriously doubt there is too much hillbilly in you as I'm not much on that buttoned down crap either and neither are any of my friends! The only reason those two old pharts I mentioned are wearing that getup is the company provides it for them. And yes! We are mostly in agreement.

[mountaineer]

I watched a 4 or 5 minute clip of Yellowstone that someone posted on Twitter and was less than impressed. Actually, I found it insufferable.

Naw, I meant no offense... Just like y'all down in the southern desert are highly influenced by Mexican culture (maybe more than you think about), I am influenced by mountain culture and native (mainly Salish) culture.  I am just as likely to be in moccasins or mukluks as I am to be in sh*tkickers.... Just as likely to be wearing a throat patch as a bandana... In the summer time you might miss a lot of it on me... Standard cowboy.... But in the winter, the hillbilly starts to win.    Long hair, beard, wool and leather...

It's a curiosity and a conversation I have had with fellers from south of say, Denver - Folks from the Sierras, and folks from Oklahoma and Texas... Never ending difference in te way we bend our hats (or rather, how nature bends em for us).... But still by and large, all the same.

And none was taken!  I identified with those two old pharts mostly because they are in the same boat as me. Neither one has been on a horse in years and have only memories of what used to be.

Yeah I get that! Hard for me to remember I am supposed to stay on the porch... Except in the mornings... I remember well in the mornings.  Glory days huh? What I wouldn't give to wake up in the morning, shake a loop out and climb up in the saddle and let that horse shake his giggles out before heading up to the high line to start beating cattle down to the roundup... The hardest and best times of my life. Come sit on the porch and I will tell you all about it.

I just might take you up on that one day soon! It would be fun to compare notes on how things are done up there vs here.

Same for me. The dialogue gets....tedious to say the least. I signed on late to this series and kind of binge watched the first seasons and am not completely impressed at this point. But I will say, that although the writers are adjective deficit, there are a couple of story lines with a good hook I'd like to see the conclusion of. :)

@debrawiest

Couldn't agree more. Anybody that doesn't love that scenery is lacking a soul,and deserves to be committed to city living for life.
 
BTW,just heard a short clip of somebody singing "Mercy Now" while watching "Yellowstone",and thought that ANYBODY that hasn't heard Mike Farris covering that song has never really heard it,so here it is.

IMNSHO,this guy is insanely talented,and deserves a wider audience. Yeah,he pretty much only sings gospel now,but so what? Gospel is the original "soul music". Don't believe me,ask any Aretha Franklin fan,which is ANYBODY who ever heard her sing.

So what's your point? 
Who HASN'T been arrested naked at some point in their life?

Believe it or not,me!

I have no rational explanation for how this happens to be true.

It ain't THAT you're naked...

It's whether or not you are covered in butter-flavored Crisco...
And whether or not you remember how that happened.
