willie marches forward

country outlaw/genius Willie Nelson just released what is thought to be the first openly gay cowboy anthem, called (awesomely) "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)" I guess he recorded this pre-"Brokeback", showing that the times change with Willie, never the other way around. Sample lyric: What did you think all them saddles and boots was about? Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.
