Country music fans have come to expect a little eccentricity from legendary crooner Willie Nelson, but he pulled off a real shocker this time: He cut his hair.

...Nelson's waist-deep, reddish pigtails have long been one of the singer-songwriter's signature features. But spokeswoman Elaine Schock said Nelson, who's been hanging loose in Hawaii, got his hair cut in the past couple of weeks.... he might have grown tired of dealing with long locks. She said, "there's a lot of maintenance."

Wonder what happened to it?
Surely the barber didn’t get to keep it..

Just yesterday drove past a barbershop in N Reading MA with that very statement

If he divided up those pictails into tiny bunches he could sell them on eBay for $1000 each and earn enough extra dough to buy Mexico.

[Lady Jag]

Yeah, tie the braids together and use them as a dragging boom!

Or to Locks of Love for kids with cancer? I did that several years ago.

[samiam1972]

I can’t help it. I love Willie Nelson! I loved his long hair.

Bozo was Cheap Trick drummer Bun E Carlos’ dad.

[Lady Jag]

Me, too. He HAS to be doing something with his braids because they have to mean a lot to him.

Maybe he’ll frame them and save them for his presidential library, “Presidents I’ve smoked on the WH roof with.”

Well, here’s a news item I’ve been waiting for breathlessly!/SAR

[EternalVigilance]

Does he have any idea how much that hair is worth!?

Probably enough to pay off the IRS and still have some left over for ten years worth of weed.

[Gator113]

Oh man, that one did it to me. Fortunately I wasn’t trying to swallow a drink milk when I saw it. LMAO

[TheOldLady]

I thought Bozo had passed?

[Slings and Arrows]

I thought he was in the White House.

[JouleZ]

“I love Willie Nelson!”

I do, too. I saw him live in the ‘80’s with Dolly Parton and just saw him live in December @ a concert and he can still pick and play. He’s an original.

So the usurper is also a zombie. That would explain the limp wrists. Or not...
