Then there's the story of the old hooker who after she had a picture of Elvis tattooed on the inside of one thigh, and one of Hank Jr. on the other asked an old drunk to critique the work.

After a minute he said, "the one on the right is definitely Elvis, and the on one on the left looks like Hank Jr., but the one in the middle is definitely Willie Nelson!"

Because the Socialist Insecurity office really needed hundreds of thousands of "cop killer" hollowpoint bullets, right Willie?

Put the crackpipe down now, hippie.

Willie's tax problems were as a result of deductions taken starting in 1972 for tax shelters later declared by the IRS to be invalid.

The IRS investigation started twelve years later and took years.

Price Waterhouse publicly stated that nobody in the investment advisor industry during the period Nelson took the deductions would have concluded that the IRS would later take the position it did.

But yes, he owed the IRS $6 million in back taxes, plus $10 million in penalties in interest.

“I never understood this guy’s rise in the country music scene and how he hasn’t been the receipient long before now of the same kind of treatment the Dixie(Ditsy) Chicks received.

Being a dope smoking leftist isn’t exactly a good fit among alot of country music fans, atleast the overwelming number I’ve known.”

His rise and staying power are easy to understand. He has had some great recordings. He sounds terrible live, but much of his recorded music is fantastic. That’s true in spades for his recordings as one of The Highwaymen and in duets with Waylon. In addition to that, he seems like a really nice guy who is not at all full of himself, regardless of what he smokes or what he thinks about guns.

I seem to recall a story from long ago when (probably from when they were both still in Nashville) Ray Price and Willie lived somewhat near each other. Ray was raising fighting roosters, and one of them got loose and killed an animal of Willie’s. Willie DID shoot that rooster.

Willie is just pissed that as a felon he can’t own any.

I don’t mind the pot, but today Willie has given me reason not to be a fan.

He ain't trying to change nobody

Don't know about that. The trouble with senior hippie citizens like Willie is they think their ideas and values, no matter how steeped in pot they might be, should be forced on the rest of us.

From a man who brakes the law by not paying taxes and smoking weed.

And trafficking large quantities of pot and magic mushrooms.

Thinks he's above the law and that we are all pee ons.

Yeah, Willie. We should have left the gun owning to King George’s military, right?

“Willie, your lot in life is the cover other artists` songs... and smoke pot.”

You are truly dumber than a brass-headed monkey. Willie did not get into the Songwriters Hall of Fame by covering other artist’s songs. If he had never written anything other than Crazy, Forgiving You Was Easy, or Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, he would deserve our highest praise and thanks.

Maybe there is something to be said for the “War on Drugs.” Obviously, all the pot has turned Willie’s brain to mush.

I’ll put a dollar down betting Willie owns firearms.

Looks like what used to be called “schwag” or something - seeds and junk - back when I wanted to get in with the cool crowd by pretending like I knew something about such things. (Maybe I still do.) Never could smoke the stuff by the way.
