 I'm Brittany Luce, and you're listening to It's Been a Minute from NPR, a show where we talk about what's going on in culture and why it doesn't happen by accident. A warning, this segment includes sexual references and frank talk about sex. We are in the heat of summer, and we just celebrated one of the most American of holidays, July 4th. And that made me think of one of the most American of symbols, the cowboy.
