When John Redcorn realizes that he is 40 and has yet to accomplish all the things he once hoped that he could, he decides to form a heavy metal rock band. The problem is, they aren't any good and when the job offers don't exactly come rolling in, he decides to take gamble and starts his own Indian casino. Luckily, when trouble happens, his manager is there to help him out...

This is another good episode of King of the Hill. By this point in the series most viewers know all the characters well and are used to their quirky personalities. However, rather than being just a bunch of one dimensional cartoon figures, the characters of King of the Hill remain rooted and consistent in their behavior. This show uses those roots in a good way and comes up with a surprising and fun result.

While there may be better episodes of King of the Hill, this one stands as a fine, clever example of the series.moreless

ADD QUOTES
- Lucky: You look like I feel whenever I run over one of my dogs. Edit
- Dale: Yeah, when I first found Redcorn, he was in some go-nowhere Whitesnake meets White Lion meets Great White ripoff group. But I recreated him as the Native American Raffi. Edit
- John Redcorn: Let's open with "I Need Money." We can transition to "Gotta Get Money" and do a whole money medley. Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Bill: So John Redcorn is opening a casino? I always wanted to see a white tiger before I died. Bill is referring to the white tigers featured in the "Siegfried and Roy" show at The Mirage casino in Las Vegas. The show, which had been at The Mirage since 1990, closed in October 2003 after Roy Horn was bitten by a white tiger during the show. Edit
- Luanne: What's a Yoko? Dale calls Luanne "Yoko." Yoko Ono was the wife of Beatles singer/songwriter John Lennon. Many people view Yoko Ono as being responsible for the downfall of the group as she sent Lennon into strange musical directions. Luanne is too young (and ignorant) to know who she was. Edit
- References to many 70's icon bands were made in this episode: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (hits like Takin' Care of Business and You Aint Seen Nothing Yet), Foghat (Slow Ride), Deep Purple (Smoke On The Water and Woman From Tokyo), and ELO (Don't Bring Me Down). Edit
