From the title of this post you might think I’m going to talk about all of the blog fluttering about Willie Nelson and his gay cowboys. I’m not. I don’t DO Willie Nelson. I don’t like Willie Nelson. I only tolerate discussions about Willie Nelson for the awesome Nuthinfancy and the amazing catnmousie. So no, this is not about that MAN. And I’m not sorry, either.
When I first heard about the movie Brokeback Mountain and all of it’s "awesome" gay cowboyness my first thought was Y’all and their song My Man, Our Horses, and Me from the OUT LOUD cd. I tried very hard to push that image from my mind. I saw the movie and while it wasn’t anything like the "classic" gay cowboy song that the Flamingo House Family has often giggled over, I couldn’t get that song out of my head. It’s just that kind of song. You say gay cowboys, I think "side saddle". You say gay cowboys again and I think "her name is windy".
Go listen – and if you’re so inclined, listen to some of our "family favorites" from the cd while you’re there… The only Indigo Girls song I like, "This Train"… "Weddings are Icky", because they ARE! … Chris and his friends loved "Shave Your Head", one of the kids really loved "Kiss My Sticky" (guess which one!) and of course Melissa Ferrick is awesome with a song she never sings in her live performances, "Taking a Liking".
Out Loud folks, with gay cowboys. And no Willie Nelson in sight!

Thank you SO much! Now I can’t get that song outta my head! 😉
ha – you talked about Willie! You know you really like him…he stands for everything that is good in the world 😉
I’m not gay enough to be interested in the whole Brokeback thing…not even a little…truthfully gay music either…
you talked about Willie!
