Song Review: Orville Peck and Willie Nelson - “Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other”

Orville Peck and Willie Nelson covered Nelson covering Ned Sublette on their new version of “Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other.”

Set to a waltz with Trigger, Nelson’s famed nylon-stringed guitar, front and center, the song is totally a novelty. And totally hilarious. And by combining the gay newcomer with the baritone with the straight veteran with the craggy voice, it also comes off as quite serious in spite of itself.

Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he’s done with his women/but the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer/cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other/say, what do you think all them saddles and boots was about, first Nelson, then the pair, sing.

Toss in a some harmonica, a bit of steel, an f-bomb and couple of ye-haws, and you’ve got yourself a real weiner.

The song will appear on Peck’s forthcoming duets album, Stampede.

The Architect of the Vagina

The “father” of modern gynecology, generally portrayed in medical historiography as an innovative figure, was the South Carolina surgeon J. Marion Sims, whom one historian refers to as “the Architect of the Vagina.” Sims refined his innovations by operating experimentally on the genitals of enslaved women he kept for that purpose. In this way, he developed a surgical repair for vesico-vaginal fistulas, using an infection-resistant silver suture, and more generally he popularized the use of surgery for gynecological problems, becoming quite wealthy in the process. 

In a “hospital” he built in his backyard in Montgomery, Alabama, he operated on a woman named Anarcha thirty times, sewing her insides without anesthesia and giving her opium afterward. He also kept women named Lucy and Betsy for this purpose, describing the expense of their maintenance as a research cost. After perfecting his treatment, he subsequently moved to New York, where he founded the Women’s Hospital and continued experimenting surgically; since there was no slavery in New York, he practiced on poor Irish women, performing thirty surgeries on one Mary Smith.
