Wasn't Willie (note the name) a member of a group called Highway Rest Stop Men in the 80s? "Waylon, Willie and the boys", yeah!

Willie might need to take some of his own advice and pick up that book on the table.



There's a family Bible on the table
Its pages worn and hard to read
But the family Bible on the table
Will ever be my key to memories.
At the end of day when work was over
And when the evening meal was done
Dad would read to us from the family Bible
And we'd count our many blessings one by one.

I can see us sitting 'round the table
When from the family Bible Dad would read
And I can hear my mother softly singing
"Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages, cleft for me."

Now this old world of ours is filled with trouble
This old world would oh so better be
If we found more Bibles on the table
And mothers singing "Rock of Ages, cleft for me. ...

Country music’s formula was filled with family values, nostalgia and the issues that everyday families face.

Really? Not being a country music fan, I must have missed that. All I remember hearing is crying in beer, pickup trucks and cheating spouses.

Willie's verging on washed up and probably hasn't salted any money away. This will focus some attention and sell a few CD's to another demographic. That is all he is up to, imo.

Not enough money to sail into the sunset so he plays the old hippie who can now reveal how he really feels.

As far as country music, I remember songs that were just as racy as anything on the radio these days. Unless you caome up with sonething else you're doing "down by the lake countin' the stars where the cool grass grows" for example.

Reefer Madness... Or Reefer Manness? Never gave a spit for c&w, but always have time to enjoy a burnout.

He also backed the Texas Democrat's last year when they had their little temper tantrum and went scurrying off to New Mexico to avoid doing their job.

Not like this song was just written and recorded.....

Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other

"The song's been in the closet for 20 years," Mr. Nelson said in a prepared statement. It was written in 1981 by Lubbock-born singer-songwriter Ned Sublette.

The DC Cowboys are down with it.
