To think that when most of us were growing up, boys watched "John Wayne Westerns" at the movies and "Gunsmoke" on TV, and what most of us wanted for Christmas was a shiny "Roy Rogers chrome-plated Six-shooter gun," and a "Worked leather holster." Makes one feel sorry for today's kids with "Brokeback Mountain" at the movies and "Will & Grace" on TV! What are they supposed to wish for the "Winter Solstice Holiday" (remember that Christmas has been banned as "Politically Incorrect")??? A "chrome-plated six incher dildo," and leather "tights"?!?! And aside from Willie Nelson's assertions in his new hit song telling us how "Cowboys are secretely fond of each other" (he must have smoked a Cuban Cigar sized "joint" to come up with that one!), what I personally have noticed is how after this "Brokeass Mountain" fracas, it seems rather that Cowboys are secretely ashamed to wear their ten-gallon hats anymore... unless, of course, they happen to be "Bay Area Cowboys." Such a shame that Lee Van Clef is no longer with us, if not Clint Eastwood, could have directed (in his inimitable style), and starred, in a remake of one of his "Western Classics," where, all dove-eyed, he and Lee could have played a torrid love scene. They could have called it "The Good, the Bad, and Le Cage Aux Follies" !!! Somehow it seems the "Western" will never be the same! There goes another "American value" out the window, along with a bit more of our "National Identity" !
