"pansy division's version of Lee Hazelwood's jackson"
Oh, you must mean Johnny Cash/June Carter's Jackson. Hazelwood didn't write it and I doubt the Hazelwood/sinatra version is the most well known.

"As someone who grew up in the ’90s, anti-authoritarian punk—like that of the Queers and Screeching Weasel—was a staple of my rebellious youth, and for this, I am extremely grateful. While many of my friends were listening to the major labels’ vision of “alternative,” I was proud to align myself with those who spoke out against the trappings of hatred, misogyny, racism, and the overall “bro” culture that existed in most public music spaces. I am also proud to say I still adhere to those ideals today. Sadly, it appears my childhood punk icons do not.
In a Facebook post shared yesterday on his personal account, Joe King—pka Joe Queer—thanked officer Darren Wilson for his service, calling him “a man of peace in a world of mayhem,” and linking to the crowd-sourced fund page set up in Wilson’s defense. The message was met with skepticism and a hope it was a sarcastic jab like the ones that litter most of his albums. Unfortunately, it was not."
Like most of us who knew and loved The Queers music, Joe Steinhardt from Don Giovanni Records did not take kindly to this post. In response, he challenged Recess Records and Asian Man Records to disassociate themselves with Joe Queer and Ben Weasel of Screeching Weasel (who did not outright support the post, but did support Joe’s right to say it. He also, of course, punched a woman at a SxSW show.)"
