It was hard for me to understand "Lonesome Cowboyrs" It is virtually without narrative plot, or at least a plot that makes any sense -- While viewing it, I said to myself several times "This is awful" -- Yet, I also enjoyed it, for some odd reason -- I'm also suspicious of stuff that is "bad" being justified because it is "art" -- at the time in 1968, the film was being scrutinized by the FBI, and was banned in Georgia -- I suppose it has a place in our gay heritage story, but I'm not sure of its endurring importance.
