So Willie Nelson chooses Valentine's Day to release a song about gay cowboys: Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other) originally recorded by the fabulous Pansy Division.
Sample lyrics:
Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie,
And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night.
Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies,
But I’ll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight:
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
That’s why they wear leather, and Levi's and belts buckled tight.
There’s many a cowboy who don’t understand the way that he feels towards his brother;
There’s many a cowboy who’s more like a lady at night.
Note that Willie Nelson's recording of Bob Dylan's He Was A Friend of Mine is on the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack (it plays over the end credits in the movie).
