A Boy Named Sue

Since I decided to cover the Country Music section, I have been racking my brains for some great examples of Gender and Sexuality in Country Music. And then it hit me. My dad used to sing this all the time when I was a kid, and I always  thought it was funny, but never really understood the message. Here is the good ole' Johnny Cash, with A Boy Named Sue, a song about a man conflicted by the name he was given. It makes you think about gender roles, and hopefully you'll get a good laugh too! :)
