I don't know his demographics with regard to homophobic vs homosexual and which group generates him the most revenue, but I'd guess it ain't us.

He was a big hit at the Armadillo Headquaters here in Austin in the 70's.
It was where his career finally took off.
He was popular with the young hippie, weed smoking crowd.
I went to one of his concerts there back then, and got high just smelling everyones weed.
:laugh:
His fans are good old boys, and old hippies.
He lives around here, so he is known around Austin, but you ask a teenages who Willie Nelson is , and they will look at you like.... huh... who?

Pass the brownies, Alice. Boy these brownies are good!

LMAO !!!
Old Willie still likes his weed. He was pulled over by DPS a few years back around here and
was caught with his little stash.
:laugh:

I think you are giving hip-hop as exaggerated an influence as some people give gay culture.

You're right. Unless we're talking about Gen-X or Y, there isn't much hip-hop influence.

From TDS, July 25, 2009:
There doesn't seem to be a Willie Nelson version of "Ain't Goin' Down on Brokeback Mountain" (Written by Wynn Varble, Ben Hayslip and Brandon Kinney) available on Youtube, but here it is sung by the The Saddle Sores.
Or listen to a live version, complete with difficult-to-decipher commentary by Wynn Varble: "It's been described as number two... Hope I don't piss nobody off, it's all in fun. A little cowboy music."

Like I said at first, this is just a joke.
If the violently homophobic message was universally obvious, I would have expected that there would have been quite a bit of outrage expressed over at DCF when this was posted. I couldn't find any.
