It’s 2018, so every single public figure is declaring their political allegiance — no matter what the cost.

Willie Nelson, 85, appeared on The View to promote his new album, a tribute to Frank Sinatra titled, ‘My Way’.

I nominate Mauldeen for the weirdest Free Republic post since 1998!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Apparently you haven’t heard Tom Waits......

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Well, he did write “Crazy”, which Patsy Cline made into a huge hit! Still one of my all-time favorites!

[Maudeen]

I’ll give him that one. . .but only Patsy’s recording. In fact I think I have it somewhere.

[Songcraft]

I wonder how this song by one of Willie's old singing buddies, the late Waylon Jennings, would go over today:

       "Dukes Of Hazzard - 'Good Ol' Boys' Theme Song" - Waylon Jennings

[Laslo Fripp]

Now that came out of left field!

(...or is it right field?)

[BradyLS]

NELSON: I love flack! We’re not happy ’til they’re not happy. I think everyone has a right to their opinion. They are entitled to their opinion, and I’m entitled to mine.

There it is, folks. Nothing makes a liberal more miserable than a happy camper! So wear a smile and flip the script—again!—on November 6!

[BradyLS]

Women usually don’t like guys who have big ears. I’ve noticed the smaller a dude’s ears are, the prettier is the chick accompanying him.

It's true. Babies get all the smokin' ladies. They can't help themselves. They're irresistable with those wee, tiny ears!

[Songcraft]

"It's true. Babies get all the smokin' ladies. They can't help themselves. They're irresistable with those wee, tiny ears!"

Hey, wait a minute...

Weed turns most of its regular users to the left. The U.S.A. cannot afford that now.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Just shut-up and don’t play!

[FreedomPoster]

I said that about Willie 15 years ago or more. Used to have season tickets to a Summer concert series, and he’d be on the bill every 2-3 years. Wife always wanted to go. “Great, you find some girlfriends to go, I’m not going. Willie has been mailing it in for a while now, not worth it.”

[FreedomPoster]

BTW, just for the record, it’s flak. Short for FLiegerAbwehrKanone, “aircraft defence cannon”, what our B-17s faced over Germany in WWII.

Dope head in the music industry....shocking!!!! I don’t buy music anymore...no need to it’s free at my fingertips.

The entertainers' political and moral views are exactly what drives their musical themes, as it does their lives. When you enjoy and accept their "entertainment" rather than assess which is good and that which is false, you participate in both and fund both. And you reject the thoughts of people who recognize sickness when they see it and refuse to participate.

What have you done with your thinking cap? Did you lose it somewhere?

[Robert DeLong]

Um, anyone who didn’t know this was not paying very close attention. Known he was a liberal for decades now.

[kenmcg]

Willy’s brain is fried from years of pot and other drugs. Pay no attention to him.

[TomServo]

LOL!!! - That’s a great song....

[bgill]

Everything Willie has done or said or stood for over the last 50 years should have cost him his last conservative ticket.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

What have you done with your thinking cap? Did you lose it somewhere?

No, I just have enough sense to realize that politics isn't everything - people who insist on seeing all things through their political sunglasses are sad characters with empty lives.
