PAGE 4 THE BELLES FEBRUARY. 1981 GILLEY’S PROVIDES MORE THAN REER s-:?" - i by Angela Patrick It is plain to see that the country is turning to the cowboy image that was triggered by the movie “Urban Cowboy” and the rekindled interest in Country and Western music. Gone are the days of “Saturday Night Fever” and the BeeGees. The discos of yesterday are being replaced by “country” bars with bucking bulls. One of the most famous western bars in the country is Gilley’s in Pasadena, Texas. This bar is where the majority of the film, “Urban Cowboy”, was filmed. Since the movie, the popularity of the night club has tripled. Mickey Gilley, the owner of the club and one of the contributors to the movie soundtrack, has taken the opportunity to strengthenhis own finances by commercializing at great lengths. The bar was very popular with locals before the movie. As a tourist attraction, the club draws in many people visiting the Houston area. On a good night the club will have a packed house of over 4,000 people. The cash flow at this establishment is tremendous and one can easily assume that Mickey Gilley is doing very well. The facade of the building is deceiving. From the front it looks like any other tobacco warehouse. Upon entering one can see tables, pinball machines and other attractions that cover about 4 acres. One can even get their picture taken on a stationary bull. The dance floor is always crowded with people doing the two-step or kicker dance. For sale they have anything one would desire ranging from T- shirts to the bull itself at the sum of 7,000 dollars. There is nothing particularly appealing about the place, but it does offer one the chance to become a real cowboy for awhile.
