Cowboys are frequently, secretly (fond of each other)
Speaking of Brokeback, anybody heard this new Willie Nelson song? They've been playing it on KFOG in San Francisco. I'm not a huge fan of Willie (although he's one of the few country singers I like), but I'm loving this song.

1. Yeah, it's sweet.
Not Willie's best, but fun.

Everyone should spend the 99 cents and download it from iTunes.

2. Yep, it's definitely going on my iPod
It will join Johnny Cash, kd lang, Patsy Cline, and Dolly Parton's protest songs as my few Country genre picks. Oh, and the Dixie Chicks if I can figure out who the heck I lent it to.... (Bought it after they got slammed for dissing Bush.)

3. I like it when cowboys are openly fond of each other.

4. Are you saying you're not "fond" of Willie?
Hey, that's a double pun.

8. Says here the song was written in 1981
I guess it was the time to record and release it.

10. I listened to some of it on the Brokeback Mountain website.

OMG! The theme and the Willie sone and the Emmy Lou song make me sob! I think it brings the emotions from the film back to mind. That film absolutely destroyed me! I loved it so much!

ON EDIT:

Perhaps I should read the story PRIOR to commenting! How rethuglian of me, talking before I had the facts! :eyes:

I was thinking of "He Was a Friend of Mine," not "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)"

Still, I gotta love Willie. My dad has loved Willie's music for years!
