Willie Nelson Releases Gay Cowboy Song - An Effort To Make Himself Relevant Again

I just read that Willie Nelson released a song about gay cowboys. It seems that the song has been around for a little while, but Nelson decided now was the time to release it. I guess he had to wait to see if the movie would be a hit before he risked his career (what he has left) on the song.

I wonder why he did not release it when the movie came out or before? It would have made more of an impact. Does anyone listen to Willie Nelson anymore? I think he is a joke, what with the IRS mess and smoking pot and all of that nonsense. But that is just me.
