But it shows no signs of fading. What if the song never fades away? And yet it goes deeper than that. Every weird strain of American culture is in this song somewhere, as Lil Nas X rides his tractor all over our cliches of sexual and cultural identity. He just came out, on the last day of Pride Month.
