How about them gay cowboys, etc. Radicalism is passe and all, but doesn’t this sound sort of like Christmas? Wait, I guess what I meant was, I didn’t realize that it was every gay man’s dream to be a straight woman. Wait, I guess what I meant was, at least you could have tried to put some gloss on 25-year-old rhetoric. Elsewhere: “M? Lai, Maybe,” a vaguely anti-war song Willie dug up from 1969 and “Syncopation Is Alright (In Moderate Doses)” a 1979 attempt to traverse the disco crowd. I want to be happier - gayer, even - about this, but softball just isn’t that fun.
