So now that Brokeback Mountain is a hit, Willie Nelson (gah! it creeps me out just writing that name!) has released a song about cowboys being gay. I guess the timing is right. Some lyrics: "A small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men," and "I believe to my soul that inside every man there's the feminine."
Seems like another American icon is falling by the wayside. The Cowboy was pretty much the manliest of men. Not after this year is over.
I have to wonder what John Wayne would say about all this 'gay cowboy' stuff. I'll bet he's rolling over in his grave.
