I recall it being mentioned in some song which I learned in elementary school,
back in the early 1970's...

Sure it is a beautiful state, with a not-so-beautiful state government...
but more progressives than most of those "plains" states between the Mississippi and the west coast.....

(although Montana has more mountains than most of those)

Brad Pitt seemed to be fixated upon movie roles based in Montana,
when you take "A River Runs Through It" into the mix... lol
in his "breakout" period, at least...
