Mayer
kicks off Rodeo festivities
RodeoHouston enters its
72nd year. From Tuesday to March 21, the world's largest livestock show
and rodeo makes its home at Reliant Stadium, where hair-raising cowboy
sports and world-famous entertainers gather to create a unique experience
that can only be found in Houston.
Rodeo
offers more than just bull
If you're baffled by the
fact that pop-rock yuppie John Mayer was chosen to open the Houston Livestock
Show and Rodeo or annoyed that Bow Wow and the You Got Served dancers are
representing Black Heritage Day, don't cross out this year's rodeo activities
all together.
Real
rodeo celebrities are cowboys
Take away the stars, send
the carnival back on the road, hang the art on the wall and eat up all
of that succulent cook-off barbecue. When one really strips down the Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo, the backbone of 72 years of tradition is the
only component left standing. There wouldn't be a rodeo without the true
cowboys and cowgirls, bulls and broncos, ropes and spurs that make up the
rodeo's sports.
