‪your history lesson for today‬

Twenty-six year old Lane Frost was killed by a bull in Cheyenne during Frontier Days, after he finished riding a bull called "Taking Care of Business". His score was in the 90's and was enough to put him in third place even after his accident. After, he got up the bull gored him and Lane fell piercing his heart with broken ribs. He died in 1989. As a result of his injury, protective vests have been available for bull riders.  His story was featured in a movie called "8 seconds" featuring Luke Perry and this song is by Aaron Watson who is out touring with Alan Jackson (feel free to send me any spare tickets). His tombstone reads "Lane wasn't perfect, but he knew Jesus".
