Cole Porter, the legendary Broadway composer and lyricist, sure knew what he was talking about in the 1930s when he wrote the famous song, "Don't Fence Me In," about a man who would prefer to roam carefree in the fields than be tied down. "Let me ride though the wide open country that I love, don't fence me in/ Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies," crooned Bing Crosby with the Andrews Sisters back in the days when that song was a hit.
