Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus and mixing it up!

This is a great little tune, but there’s also lots of other stuff to think about.

What about music styles? Is this Country and Western or is it Rap?

And what’s the history between white and dark skinned people in America’s Wild West and now in the big cities?

Who used to ride the horses, sit up tall, race fast and be the boss? And who didn’t?

(And who’s doing it now in this song/video?)

Why does the song mix up horses and cars?

Why is riding a horse down the main street, like in the ‘Good Old Days of the Wild West’, a good thing?

Why does Lil Nas X mash cowboy life with expensive modern things?

What does it mean when The Old Town Road of 2019 is now home to dark-skinned American’s who were not welcome 1889 and that the dark-skinned man is now behaving like the white cowboy of all those years ago?

And why does the video open like an old Cowboy movie?

So you see…lot’s to think about.

That Old Town Road is not just a road!
