The legendary roadside cowboy burned today at the Texas State Fair, he’d been around in one form or another for 70 years.
There are already plans in place to make Big Tex, bigger, stronger, more kitschy than he was before. Excellent. I hope they keep that mid-century roadside styling with the new Tex.

As someone who spent most of my childhood in Dallas, it was like losing a member of the family. I do expect them to rebuild him. But whatever kitch they add, it will never replace the original.
