Urban Cowboy and the Rise of Country Music
The producer behind Urban Cowboy, a film that helped popularize country music in the late 70s, believed he had a huge soundtrack in his hands, just like Saturday Night Fever, and bought the rights to the magazine article for $200,000. Despite the movie's success, punk music was still going strong and hating everything mainstream at the time.
