Actors Turned Country Singers

Kevin Costner Covers “Cowboys and Indians”

Kevin Costner is on the premier cover of Cowboys and Indians magazine - as a musician. If there was a movie called 'Cowboys and Indiana', I would understand this, but I don't.

Assume for a minute that some people don't think using the term “Indians” is pejorative. Costner is using the magazine promo to push his music career. Music? Yup.

Kevin Costner has a country-rock band called 'Modern West' and they have made a CD that will be released soon.
