When I got there, I thought it was going to be urban cowboys and country music wall-to-wall 24/7. I was surprised to discover that, at least back then, Houston was much more of a rock and roll town than its image led on. All the kids I knew in school were always going to rock and metal concerts. Nobody I knew listened to country, or affected the cowboy look, with the hat and the boots, etc.
