Willies Song...

I have had a real rough week or 2. Its the end of the period at work and lots of stuff to do trying to make my numbers. Also, there have been complaints about service nor being done on time because we don't have enough help to do it.
But, I have had a few minutes here and there for other activities. You Have you heard about Willie Nelson's new song on the news?
It seems that Willie released a new song called "Cowboys Are Secretly Frequently (Fond of Each Other).
It's really pretty good. He has some great lyrics "There's many a young boy who feels things he don't comprehend. Well the small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes. No, the small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men."
He goes on"Well, a cowboy may brag about things he does with his women, but ones who brag loudest are the ones who are most likely queer."
Its, really kind of neat. On top of Brokeback Mountain this song is really giving the fundamentalists something to yell about.
Last weekend about 2 dozen dancers were at "The Roundup Saloon" a Dallas country type gay bar to shot a video for release this spring.
One of Willie's songs "He Was A Friend Of Mine". was in the soundtrack of Brokeback Mountain.
Willie said that the song, which was written by a friend Ned Sublette in 1981, was released this year for valentines Day because the time seemed right after Brokeback mountains success.
The song is currently available only as a download from I Tunes. I down-loaded it along with enough other Willie songs to fill a cd. I'll get to listen on the way to work today.
It looks like gays have one more thing out there to help educate the public. It's all pretty cool when you consider that not many years ago we were unable to admit who we are because of fear.
Equal rights are coming, but it takes time and people with enough courage to stand up and be counted.
