Bob Wills' Ranch House

(later called The Longhorn Ballroom)

"The Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas, Texas (USA) has been called, Texas' Most Historic Music Venue and since its inception has had a colorful set of proprietors. Originally built by O.L. Nelms, an eccentric Dallas millionaire, for his close friend, western swing bandleader Bob Wills, the venue opened in 1950 as Bob Wills' Ranch House. When Wills left In the early 50s Nelms leased the sprawling venue to notorious nightclub owner turned assassin Jack Ruby. Mr. Ruby eventually had a nervous breakdown and lost the lease, but he is credited with hosting some of the best black entertainers of the day including Count Basie, Ruth Brown, and Nat King Cole. The Nat King Cole show took place in 1954 in the racially segregated Jim Crow South, where an affluent black audience sat in front, in the premium seats, while the white patrons stood in the back to listen to the legend.

In 1957, the venue was divided into two separate performance areas by a single wall.  One area, named the “Guthrey Club” featured Rhythm and Blues artists such as Little Richard, Fats Domino, Bo Diddley, and Roy Orbison, while the bigger ballroom focused on Country Music.

In 1958, O.L. Nelms sold the business and in 1967 sold the property to his close friend and business partner Dewey Groom who renamed the venue The Longhorn Ballroom.  Groom, who was also a recording artist, and record label owner, successfully ran the ballroom for more than 25 years, adding the iconic Longhorn Ballroom marquee..."

As a Texan, I can confirm that some people here genuinely dress and act like Colt Fathom. Therefore, he will always be Texan in my eyes.

texans will agree this is the best song ever:

Weird Wilbur - Fuck you Texas

it is in every playlist i have and it comes on and makes my day

The worst kind of music is "I'm from this one city, and it's a really cool city, and I'm proud of my city, and it's better than your city."

The best kind of music is "I'm from this one city, and it FUCKING SUCKS. I got mugged, I lost my job, they denied me unemployment benefits, if I spend one more second in this FUCKING city I will GO INSANE."

The other best kind of music is "I'm from this one city, and it fucking sucks BECAUSE OF ME. I make my place ACTIVELY WORSE through a MYRIAD OF CRIMES."
