You Know This - Cowboys Hugging

On Thursday night I drove out to The Roadhouse Grill in Temecula to meet up with my family for my oldest sister's (Sarah) birthday. Like most family events, I ended up sitting next to the children...mostly by choice.

So my 5-year-old nephew Cameron looked out the window and saw a bunch of coyboys standing outside. (At this point in the story I would like to reiterate that we were in Temecula. Cowboys run rampant out there.)

Sure enough, there were about 15 guys in cowboy hats, wranglers, boots and big-old belt buckles. They were huddled in a group just smoking and hugging each other. I'm pretty sure that they had just exited the bar area for a quick smoke break.

Anyway, Sarah and Bill and I start making all sorts of comments - talking about Rodeos, Texas, my ex-boyfriend from Texas, and of course, Brokeback Mountain. In the middle of our conversation we hear in a raspy voice little Cameron sing, Cowboys Hugging.

Man, I wish everyone could hear his song! It was perfect! In fact, the producers of Brokeback should have put it in their movie. (I would have said if they make a sequel they should use the song, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen...RIP Heath)
