"The Truth About Change..."

Massive gay festival gives off Fyre Fest vibes after douching station disaster prompts emergency shutdown

You'd think that having lived through the pandemic and survived the era of Donald Trump (I hope), nothing would surprise me, but everyday comes some new thing that leaves me absolutely nonplussed. Yesterday, I read some articles on Queerty and one of them was on the Whole Festival in Germany. That one left me both shocked and amused to the point of laughing out loud. This is the other one...

The #1 viral song in the U.S. right now is a gay country bop about kissing on “b*ssy”

Press play on the hit song “Good Lookin'” by Dixon Dallas and, for the first 25 seconds or so, you might think you’re listening to another classic country ditty.

There’s the soft strum of an acoustic guitar, that Southern twang in Dallas’ vocals, and those romantic lyrics all about looking into a lover’s eyes, starry night sky metaphors, etc, etc… Pretty standard country music stuff!

Then, the chorus kicks off with the word “he”—wait a minute, Dallas is singing about a dude? He sure is. But he doesn’t stop there:

“He’s bouncing off my booty cheeks, I love the way he rides / I can hardly breathe when he’s pumping deep inside / I kiss him on his neck and then he kisses on my b*ssy / Call him “Daddy” while I holler / Man, that boy so damn good looking”

That’s right, not only is “Good Lookin'” a gay country song—it’s an explicitly gay country song, one that manages to reference anal sex, daddies, and, yes, “b*ssies” in its chorus alone. Ride’em, cowboy!

Nope, you can't make this stuff up... the truth really is stranger than fiction. And that's why I'm conflicted. I actually like this song, yes it's outrageously explicit, but I've heard the same type of thing in a hetero context in other songs that most folks didn't seem to bat an eye at. But all of this leaves me wondering what's coming next. This is how I know I'm getting old, change is shocking to me now. All I can say is, "I'm glad I'm not young anymore."
