Willie Nelson has released “Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)”, which may be the first gay cowboy song by a major recording artist. The song, which debuted Tuesday on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show, features choppy Tex-Mex style guitar runs and Nelson’s deadpan delivery of lines like, “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” and “if sexiness was corn, your ass would be Iowa.” Amazingly, I only made that last line up.
But what could be hotter than the combination of Willie Nelson and homo-erotic love? I had no idea country music was full of so much rampant homesexuality. I guess the ten-gallon hats and chaps should’ve tipped me off. That, and being hit on buy some guy calling himself the Bone Ranger.
Anyone who smoked a bone on the roof of the White House is cool with the SpaceDog. Though, for the record, my behind is exit only.
Whoops! There goes his fan club!
Darby, I’m your momma’s illegitimate child. Brother….(runs to hug Darby, and then punches him in the nose)
I agree that “bone my backside with ur mountain” opened the door for willie…but I think this song is a confirmation of his secret love affair with Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas. And you all thought that “Wendy” was Dave’s daughter..nope…it is really Willie. Just don’t ask about the chili. please.
in regards to all the geniuses saying this is cashing in on brokeback mountain…
he wrote and recorded this song in 1981.
To 55 …okay, but why put it out now? Why not then?
Correction: why play it up now is what I mean. Although I did read that his manager or someone close to him is gay, so it may be also in support of his long time friend.
Willie Nelson is a fag, always has been a fag and is using gay the cowboy movie to out himself. He’s TOTALLY irrelevent now, and this is the only we that wrinkled old faggot can get any press. How sad the whole fucking scene is. Trying to shove fags and cocks down everyone’s throats. Why no lesbo songs? Cause they don’t need no stinking public approval. Faggy, bitchy she-males need to prance and act like flamers and expect everyone to see them as cute. They make me puke.
Bafongu, she-males do NOT prance! They gallop wild and free and in a manner that deserves your respect thank you very much.
Why ARE there no lesbo songs? Probably because they don’t do fun stuff like wear butt-less chaps or sparkly sunglasses while playing mirror pianos.
Oh, and Screw Jessica Simpson. I think Willie’s kind of hot.
i didnt read all the comments so maybe someone mentioned it already, but nelson isn’t the original author of the song. a man gave a friend of nelson’s a copy, and that friend passed it on to nelson, 20 or so years ago. nelson had humorously played the song for people while in the tourbus, for visiting friends, etc, but felt now, with the release of brokeback mountain, that it would be a perfect time to up and record it.
oh, and just a small addendum/reference to my previous post…

You know what’s funny? When I open up the link to the story on Willie Nelson featured on Eonline immediately I see a picture of Ryan Seacrest.
Coincidence? I think not.
Ok people, This is how it is…The song was written in 1981 by a friend of Willie Nelson…It wasn’t released back “then” because, well, look at the reaction by releasing it in this day and age. David Anderson(Willies Manager) is gay and YES to whoever said it, it IS Willie’s way of saying, Hey, I don’t care if you are gay or not. The music video will be out shortly after april. We start shooting the video on march 17th. And NO this has nothing to do with Brokeback Mountain. Although It was a good time ’cause poeple need to know that there are plenty of fags out there, Many of them are Married STILL to women and STILL go to the gay bars while their wives think they are “out” with the guys. And the fags who have children….but still haven’t came out for fear of people. We are out there and its starting to scare the ones who ARE still in the closet…
I heard the song on Whad’Ya Know today, and it was HYSTERICAL!
The author of the song is a musican named Ned Sublette (http://www.afrocubaweb.com/nedsublette.htm), a Texan musician who’s lived in New York for many years. Ned was also on Whad’Ya Know, and he said he had two influences for the song:
* The Urban Cowboy phenomenon of 1981 (a movie with some famous scenes of John Travolta and Debra Winger on a bar-based bronco)
* A cowboy-themed gay bar in New York City
Willy Nelson first heard the song in 1988 and has been talking about performing it ever since. This month seemed to be the right time and place. Makes me want to run right out and buy a Willy Nelson CD (it’s certainly possible Willy could be bi, but if you think he’s gay you really haven’t been paying attention!).
Sad there are still so many homophobes out there, but that’s life. Maybe some day they’ll grow up.
fuck you
so you think she died or she’s not
