Gay Cowboy


Jude just dropped the studio version of his instant classic - Gay Cowboy - the other day, and has asked for assistance in passing it far and wide.

If you havent heard this song - you should, its a good laugh. With that said, its not at all representative of Jude's true talent as one of the best singer songwriters of the last few decades.

Check out the live show my girl Ana taped in San Diego if you want a better sense of what he's really capable of.

And to throw in something truly rare here's Homerun Hilary - a track that can only be found on the promo-only CD - You're So Hot I Love You. Great story about how I got this track.. One of the lovely twins that runs the Jude news site had sent me a copy of the song that sounded like it had come off of a cassette tape - just had this analog hiss in the background. Unfortunately she didnt have a copy of the promo CD, and I had never seen it on eBay.. Of course I've wanted it for years.

One night I'm out watching a (decent) local band. After about 3 songs I decide I really don't want to be there and leave. Hopping in the car I throw in a mix CD with Homerun... on it. To kill some time I decide I'm going to swing by a local Half Price Book store to check out the CDs. As I'm driving I think to myself - wouldn't it be wonderful if I found a copy of You're So Hot...?

Long story short - by some merciful act of our Lord, some fool had sold THREE Jude promo CDs to this bookstore. THREE. Yes, thats THREE CDs - that were each going for $2. I literally gasped and freaked out the staff when I saw them all sitting there side by side in the bargain bin. It's moments like these that make you a believer.

The stars aligned and I walked out of that Half Price Book store wih the biggest smile you have ever seen.
