About to further blow your mind. 8 Seconds came out in February of 1994âwhich is 25 years ago.
Lane Frost died at the age of 25. Luke Perry played the role of Lane Frost in the movie 8 Seconds. Luke Perry died at the age 52. 52 is 25 flipped. Luke Perry will forever be the other Lane Frost. #RIP

Think itâs fairly telling that a handful of male country artists will come to defend the actions of their own in an instant, but remain silent when women have voiced their opinions about racism, sexism, etc in country music (and society in general).

A lot of fake cowboys on this app. Iâm here to set yâall straight though. You ainât a real cowboy unless youâve helped two former Texas Rangers push cattle from the Rio Grande up through Texas, across the Great Plains, navigate the West, and all the way up into Montana Territory.

Earl Thomas Conley had 18 number 1 singles during the 1980s. Only Alabama and Ronnie Milsap had more. For some more perspective, he released 25 singles during the decade. Only two didnât reach the top 10. #RIPETC.

If youâre angry about a team changing their team name, mascot, logos, etc. why? . My favorite irony in this word is when folks who call others âsnowflakesâ all the time become filled with teary-eyed anger when others challenge their casual racism.
