Willie Nelson - Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond Of Each Other)

Following that brief blip of an album review, back, for now, to LGBT History Month. This one's a song from the Red Headed Stranger. It was debuted by Howard Stern back on Valentine's Day 2006 (should I have waited until the 14th to post this?), however it was written waaay back in 1981 by Ned Sublette.

Check out the lyrics to the song here (the reference to 'Pansy Division' is not homophobic...they are a Queercore band that recorded the song in 1995!).

Whilst I'm here, it only seems right to mention Nelson's song He Was A Friend Of Mine, which was used in the film Brokeback Mountain (and which is a great song)...i.e. from a song about gay cowboys to a song used in a film about gay cowboys, and both from the same artist.
