Trivia

When the American TV series The Greatest American Hero was released on DVD, certain musical performances had to be excised due to rights issues. In an episode entitled "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys", a performance of the song after which the episode was named (sung by Joey Scarbury) was removed and replaced with the song "Younger Days", found on Pedersen's "Southwest" album.
