George Strait had thousands flocking to College Station, Texas, to attend the largest ticketed concert in United States history. The last time this was accomplish was by the Grateful Dead when they performed in front of 107,019 people at Raceway Park in New Jersey in 1977. On Saturday (June 15)...
The Decline of Pay Phones in Every State
There were over 2.1 million pay phones in the U.S. at their peak in 1999, but now the technology is mostly relegated to nostalgia. Few wall-mounted pay phones linger in strip malls, and the silver and blue phone booths are mostly gone from the busy streets they once dotted in many parts of the U.S. Pay phones have become so rare that the FCC stopped requiring audits of them in 2018.
The Video Montana Democrats Don’t Want You to See
A Washington, DC fat cat versus a fresh-faced Navy SEAL and aerial firefighter. This is the video that Montana Democrats DO NOT want you to see. Republican US Senate candidate Tim Sheehy (R-MT) showed his command presence, and a command of the issues. Meanwhile, Jon Tester looked like a career politician who was forced to stick to phony talking points.
You Tell Em': This is the Coolest Thing “Made in Montana”

What Would You Tell Your Younger Self About Bozeman Now?
New Bozeman vs. Old Bozeman. How would you really describe the difference? Careful, though. Our answers might be eerily telling about the problems Bozeman is experiencing, even without the benefit of information time travel. Sure, timing the housing market would make you a much richer person but that kind of...

WATCH: A Classic Train Ride in Southern Montana in 2024
Have you seen the BNSF passenger train around Montana?.

Every few years, BNSF hooks up about a dozen vintage passenger...
College National Finals Rodeo Wraps Up in Casper
The College National Finals Rodeo concluded on Saturday at the Ford Center in Casper and once again, the Wyoming contingent faired quite well. On the ladies' side, Laramie native McKenna Clngman who competes for Colorado Mesa won the National Championship in the goat tying with a 6 and 7 in the short go. She is a 4-time CNFR qualifier and finally earned the championship buckle. Yoder's Haiden Thompson who competes for Gillette College was 3rd in the goat tying and Sheridan's Tavy Leno or Montana Western was 12th.
Country Proud: See Artists Wearing the American Flag [Pictures]
While a few country artists only wear the American flag on special occasions, others will pull out a patriotic jacket, tank top or guitar whenever the mood strikes them. Country music leads all genres in terms of patriotism, so it's not surprising to find many pictures of the biggest artists wearing the American flag.
Enchanting Dolphin-Shaped Houseplant Will Make Waves in Your Living Room
These days, I pretty much assume every eye-catching image on the internet is AI-generated. So, when I saw photos of a dolphin-shaped houseplant, I thought, "Nice try, robots!" But guess what? Color me surprised because there are actually houseplants shaped like everyone's favorite fun-loving (most of the time) ocean-dweller. Meet...
Forgotten 2000s Country Songs
Several of these forgotten 2000s country songs are needed today more than ever. It was a less divisive time in country music and even though we bickered about what is and isn't "real country" the assaults were less personal. Politics didn't get in the way of enjoying good country music until late in the decade but even that song — No. 35 on our list — hits different 15 years later.
Montana Rancher: Don’t Subject Troops to Lab Grown “Meat”
"This is sure to improve military recruiting numbers..." That was the obviously sarcastic response I received from the Disney family in Libby, Montana as they read this news from the Washington Free Beacon:. Pentagon Wants to Feed Troops ‘Experimental’ Lab-Grown Meat to ‘Reduce CO2 Footprint’. Oh brother.
Yanky 72 & a Montana Perspective on the Marine Corps Museum
Have you ever noticed how the most important stories that you want to share can often take the longest amount of time to pass before you finally tell them? The easiest e-mails to reply to get a response right away, and then the ones that are important- you set aside and then wait far too long to reply to? Some pictures are too sacred or too important for a Facebook share or quick "like" on social media.
Montana’s Baby Bust: Why Birth Rates Are Dropping
I think there are a lot of explanations for this. Today there was an interesting article on birth rates in Montana, and it's not surprising. People just don't want to have children anymore. Last year, Montana had more deaths than births. There were 11,174 babies born, while we recorded 11,665 deaths. There are a lot of factors to consider here, including the fact that many baby boomers are reaching the stage that brings them to the end of their life cycle. That trend will probably continue for another 25 years or so. People's life choices are also contributing to higher death rates. For people over 45, the number one and two causes of death in Montana are heart disease and cancer, many of which were brought on by personal decisions.
From Vegas Lights to Montana Nights: My Ideal Vacation
We were talking with some coworkers this morning about some people who were on vacation. They had friends who were going to be in Las Vegas for a week. I couldn't stay that long. Not in Las Vegas. Not unless I had someplace to stay away from the bright lights and hubbub. Seven days there is a long stay.
Let’s Go! Montana Grizzly Alex Gubner Signs With An NFL Team
If you're a Montana Grizzly football fan then you know the impact defensive tackle Alex Gubner made for the Griz defenders last year. He's a tackle who doesn't record many stats, due to his position, but his resume was still strong enough to win the Big Sky Conference Defensive Player Of The Year Award last season. In case you need a refresher, here's a great piece on Gubner done by Montana Sports last year showing his work ethic and team-first mentality.
