Oh Willie!

According to the AP Willie Nelson has released a recording of the song "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)" to iTunes.

I guess this is in honor of Brokeback Mountain because, yes it’s a Gay Cowboy song, and they’re not just happy that the cattle drive is over and they can get all the things, like good griddles, love and kissin’, that they been missin’. As a matter of fact these guys probably didn’t miss anything out under the lonely sky before the toasty campfire.

I’d heard Willie refer to this title before on Bill Maher but I didn’t know it was a real song! I thought he was kidding. According to the AP the song includes lyrics such as "What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?" and "Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out."

LOL! Oh Willie! Willie Nelsen has been one of my heroes since he recorded "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys." They used to put up a “sing along” on the scoreboard at Giant’s Stadium so we could sing to the Dallas Cowboys when they were in town back in the 80’s. Being a part of 75,000 half-drunk fans serenading Dallas with "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” was an experience not to be missed.

Now Willie has recorded an ode to Gayness on the trail! Here’s hoping this pisses off the Christian Right more than the movie itself. Attaboy Willie!
