Banned at the Bay Bridge: Too “Brokeback” for CBS Outdoor?
injest:
That is a mainstream song....I was not aware of any gay undertones from the video OR the lyrics. Only one radio would play it when it first came out (in fact one radio station refused to give away the comped copies of the CDs they sent out). But when it got into the top ten everyone started playing it. Has been popular for a while.
(they wouldn't play it because of the whole 'ride a cowboy' statement; thought it was too sexual)

well, I am a little offended at the sexist attitude of a lot of country music. You always hear about rap music and how THEY treat women, but nothing is ever said about country music.
"Ride a cowboy" to me is no worse than "my baby is born and bred in the USA"
My horse was bred, my cows are bred, I MIGHT breed my dogs.....but I was NOT bred thank you very much!
Then we have a lovely little ditty by two old men talking about a teenage girl (that they have to sneak back in her house on Sunday morning ..so she can be "all ribbons and curls") oh! and she also is sleeping with her math teacher...
or the one that says how sad it is that the South didn't win the Civil War cause "If the South woulda won we'd had it made!" (and them pesky uppity blacks would still be out in the slave houses, although they dont' just come straight out and SAY that....it is just a given...*wink*) and then they could have EVERY "girl child sent to Georgia to learn to smile and talk with that sweet southern style" (cause you know the sole purpose of women is to be amusing and attractive to white straight men!)
or the lovely "Honky Tonk Badonkey donk" or whatever....has all these men of varying ages leering at a bunch of teenagers barely wearing anything on their behinds; the camera never showing anything but their behinds.
Ride a cowboy is too risque? Only for straight white men and the women that buy into their bulls***!
Sorry for the rant! ;)
