Willie Nelson's crooned cowboy songs before, from the signature "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" to "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys."
But never like this: On "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other," the Texas country icon sings about love among men on the range. Available exclusively at iTunes today, the song aims to show Mr. Nelson's support for gays, particularly to conservative country-music fans.
"The song's been in the closet for 20 years," Mr. Nelson said in a prepared statement. It was written in 1981 by Lubbock-born singer-songwriter Ned Sublette.
. . .
"Cowboys" includes lyrics such as "I believe to my soul that inside every man there's the feminine" and "What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?" But Mr. Nelson delivers them deadpan, which gives the song an air of seriousness.

"Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other,"
Sounds like a gay Raffi song.

"Cowboys" includes lyrics such as "I believe to my soul that inside every man there's the feminine" My pastor says he's asked frequently if he is ever in touch with his feminine side. He replies, "Yes, I hug her all the time."

With his long hair 'hippie-Indian' look, Willie's always seemed to me to be on the 'left side' of the reservation.

First, I thought this was satire.
Now, I'm not sure.
Are you pulling my leg?

This has the makings of a great anti-drug ad. They can show that years of smoking dope will bring out your feminine side.
Telling kids that dope promotes memory loss is one thing. Telling them that it promotes gayness is something else.
