“Andy Warhol’s Lonesome Cowboys may be a bit too much for many people, but that’s their problem. Lonesome Cowboys is a magnificent and very funny satire of the American Western that is liberally seasoned with our favourite 4, 8, 10 and 12-letter words and a cornucopia of carryings-on that is – in combination – perhaps unprecedented.”

/ Critic John L Wasserman of The San Francisco Chronicle /

Released on this day (5 May 1969) at New York’s Garrick Cinema: Andy Warhol’s joyous, freewheeling homoerotic X-rated Western parody Lonesome Cowboys (tagline: “Definitely not for the young-uns!”). I vividly recall seeing this one at an impressionable age at London’s legendary much-missed grindhouse sleaze pit Scala Cinema in the early nineties. (I say “sleaze pit” with love). I caught many Warhol films there (including Couch (1964), My Hustler (1965) and Chelsea Girls (1966)) and the pattern was consistent: the theatre would start full, there would be a steady drip of walkouts who couldn’t cope with Warhol’s “challenging” pacing and filmmaking choices, and by the bitter end there was just a handful of hardcore attendees left. I for one found Warhol’s underground pop art cinema entrancing (and sexy as hell). I haven’t seen Lonesome Cowboy in decades, but I remember it featuring Warhol’s most beauteous leading men (Joe Dallesandro, Louis Waldon, Eric Emerson and Tom Hompertz), a glorious moment of Dallesandro (in tight white jeans) go-go dancing with Taylor Mead, and a long, meandering monologue from Viva.
