She went from being somewhat rural to more country than anybody I knew with her fashion and dancing. Next thing I knew, lots of disco/R&B clubs throughout the city became country clubs; cowboy hats and boots became vogue.
Culture shifted almost as drastically as it did when 'Saturday Night Fever' broke and exposed the mass public to disco. I don't begrudge anyone who likes a limited range of music or artists, but I'm grateful my mind opened up enough that I can listen to almost anybody and enjoy it, regardless of the genre.
