Willie Nelson, you are so, SO cool! You make me proud to be a Texan, I swear.

Willie's new song: Cowboys are Secretly Frequently Fond of Each Other (Link opens iTunes)

See Willie talking about it on the local news here. (Check out the grey box on the top left corner of the page.)

I wonder if there'll be a music video? ;-)

They played that on Houston local radio this morning! It was great.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I hope it gets lots of play. :-)

Yay!

That was originally by Pansy Division, a group of queer punk rockist who do exactly that :insert headbanging here:. Or at least, I think it was. Point is, Willie Nelson has once again stolen my heart.

Now, excuse me while I go build a nest for myself in Willie's marijuana forest.

Heh. Yes, and it also very much sounds like the sort of weird mid-line rhyme (frequently secretly) Willie would write (and make work)--Willie is one of those singers whose voice I find inexplicably comforting, but I haven't heard this yet. I think I need to. :D And as I have never DLed Itunes and also don't actually have any music on my computer... hm. I wonder if I can convince Launchcast to play it for me.

Really? Interesting! He said on the news segment that it was an old song, and that it seemed timely to record it now.

*adores Willie*

:O !!!!!!!!

Someone else knows about Pansy Division! YES!

When I read the news item about Willie Nelson's release of the song, I was just like "Ummmm *opens iTunes* *listens to Pansy Division's version* *puzzles over how it could be country*"... although "Bill and Ted's Homosexual Adventure" is clearly the better song.

Bill and Ted! Excellent! *air guitar*

That would make the best spoof ever XD

Ooh, Pansy Division are one of my favourite groups ever! I've even seen them play live in some shithole club in Detroit - we got autographed t-shirts and everything. God, that was sooo long ago. Anyway, I don't know for sure if they wrote the song, but they definitely recorded it a long time ago and it's their sort of thing. Love their music! So funny, and great punk rock to boot :)

I read the song title, and then literally LOLed with joy. ^_^ That's just so awesome.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

It's even a great song! :-D

ooooo downloading. noticing it's already in the top downloaded songs for iTunes, squeeing silently.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

How cool! I hope it becomes a big hit and gets played once an hour on every country station. Mwahahaha!

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

I bought it! Thank you! *loves*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

[spacetweenears.livejournal.com]

There SO needs to be a video!!! :D

[anoneknewmoose.livejournal.com]

I saw that! Somewhere...possibly Google News. It made me all kinds of squeeful. ^_^

[lildove42.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link! Now I will be able to listen to this and Feast of Fools on my way to work this morning. Happy day!

Rumor has it that Broken Lizard (aka the guys who made Super Troopers) was going to be working on the video with Willie.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

w00t!! :-D

[twigged.livejournal.com]

I heard this on the way to work this morning. It is awesome. :D
