Lee Hazelwood, 1929-2007

Lee Hazelwood has passed away, and we are so sad.

Nothin' faggy about this guy. But he did pen much of the verbiage and tunage for gay icon Nancy Sinatra (Where would so many drag queens be?) and that is why we must take a moment and contemplate our boots.

Audra Schroeder at our sister blog, Earache, commemorates thusly.
