Calvary – Rock City, the Willies, and the Full Nelson

Calvary – Rock City, the Willies, and the Full Nelson February 16, 2006

Way back when, I saw Willie Nelson in concert … four times. In my younger days, I also saw KISS and Prince. In fact, as I once admitted to a therapist (coworker), I once saw Willie Nelson, KISS, and Prince all in the same year. He said, “Hmmm. Why don’t you come to my office sometime so we can talk about that?”

So now, just when it seems everyone’s all grown up, Willie Nelson sings a gay country song, “Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)”

The country outlaw sings: “What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?” and “Inside every cowboy there’s a lady who’d love to slip out.”

Friends, I think this all started when he sang that duet with Julio Iglesias. Remember, “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before?” Uh huh, right.

His latest offering gives new meaning to:

“A Good Hearted Woman (In Love w/ a Good Timin’ Man)”

“On the Road Again”

and, of course

“Mama, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.”

I promise, when Prince joins Professional Wrestling and KISS releases a gospel album, I’ll seek out that therapist’s couch.
