Not me...I just expect him to be a stoned out tax cheat who can sing and write some pretty good songs. That ain’t eccentric at all. Howard Hughes was eccentric. Willie is just stoned.

Nothing like tripping on mushrooms, getting tangled up in your long hair, and thinking snakes are trying to kill you.
