"Montero" #MusicMonday

I’ve just recently gotten caught up by Lil Nas X who is quite the sensation. Super talented. And a super activist for the LGBTQ+ community. In fact, he is the first artist to “come out” when #1 on the music charts with his song “Old Town Road” which went on to be #1 for the longest streak since 1958.

Lil Nas X was just on Saturday Night Live this past weekend to preview Pride Month for June. He performed two songs and dare I say put himself on the charts again. He was off the chart actually. It is like watching a super star form.

This song “Montero” (which is his first name) itself is currently #1 and if you dive into the lyrics you see that it’s all about self acceptance. Self acceptance of being gay. Perfect timing for Pride.

I know that some of his moves are controversial, but then again so was Madonna and Michael Jackson and I see shades of them in Lil Nas X. But far outshining any of that, along side his talent, is all of the good he is doing for those of us in the LGBTQ+ arena. I’m cheering him on from here!
