Willie has always been an over-the-top liberal, no surprise here
Hell, we got an abysmal staue of naked men with their wankers hangin' out on music row.....what the hell.
"I expected men in hoods and burning crosses, but I found a lot of people on Music Row are very open-minded," said Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Larry Dvoskin,
Two words for the writer of this article. Dixie Chicks.
I left Nashville in 2003 vowing never to return. Unfortunately I did have to return for a short visit and saw this monstrosity right where I used to work (Palmer Plaza).
I then remembered why I left.
Dolly's got more gay fans that straight. Willie and EmmyLou are old-time lefties.
To say gays have a "home" in Nashville is quite a stretch.
"I expected men in hoods and burning crosses,"
What a surprise. Those idiots are allowed to be as prejudiced as they want... as long as it is against white southerners.
The people mentioned in the article have always been liberal. Years ago, I remember reading an article about Dolly in a woman's magazine. She said that her husband got everything he wanted and basically that she would sleep with anyone she wanted to. From that time on, I thought of her as not my kind of person who definitely doesn't have my kind of values.

That would be a good line for a C&W song.
Willie Nelson has always been the Keith Richards of country music. The author works feverishly to try and make it seem that there is some cultural shift in country music - there is not. The author cites two or three examples of artist's marginal affiliation with the homosexual community as the basis of this thesis. Nonsense. It seems to me that this is just another agenda driven piece.
In fact, on an even deeper level, the author implies that all conservatives - especially those hardcore types in Nashville - hate homosexuals, and isn't it ironic that a couple of country stars aren't? Again, conservatives don't hate homosexuals, however, yes, they are opposed to homosexual activity just as many are opposed to marital infidelity and other sinful behavior.
Just a clue Dolly. If you condone something, you have judged it and found it accptable.
Man, now we're going to start getting C&W covers of show tunes. I can see it all now, and it's frightening.
Dolly Parton Sings Favorites from Sound of Music
I think if you ask KZLA the largest C&W radio in Calif you will find the most non-requested song is willie's Valentine song.
I forgot some of the titles, though:
"My Hills are Alive (with the sound of music)
"How Do You Solve A Problem with Vaginas?
"You're a Dear, A Female Deer"
"You are Sixteen, I'm a Lesbian"
Like that.
I'm starting to think that if I am NOT gay, something is wrong with ME.
:)
lol - yeah, I guess it could be...
Nah, "Dolly sings the hits of Judy Garland" would be more apropos. Or, an album of Dolly and Cher duets.
But, all kidding aside, I give this piece a resounding 'Who Cares'? If an entertainer wants to pander to a specific fanbase - be it beerswilling rednecks, or mocha latte sipping gays - so be it.
