Willie Nelson takes a hit of the cigarette-sized vaporizer in his gnarled hand, exhaling a small cloud, before placing it on the foldout table in front of us. We’re seated in the cool enclave of his tour bus, at the entrance to his sprawling property just outside Austin, Texas, which he has dubbed the town of Luck. Up a hill and around a corner, people are rocking out at Willie’s own Heartbreaker Banquet, an annual fundraiser/music festival held concurrently with SXSW.
Now 81, Willie is biding his time before joining the festivities, and we’re talking about why he puts on the event every year. In the process, he lets slip that he has something else in the works: a new brand of weed, called, naturally, Willie’s Reserve.

If he smokes dope, believe me, he has a stink.
Why would you wish bad things for Willie Nelson?
Does he owe you money or something?
Saw a stripper once that had Willie’s face tattooed between her legs.
somehow i think you care more about willie than he does about you.
Good for him, says I!
Classy. I bet you’re a lot of fun at parties.
It’s a Cheech and Chong skit... (Acapulco Gold instead of Willie’s Reserve).

Yeah,,im sure it’s gotta be Dallas. And you don’t even know what a Texan is. It don’t mean &hit where your momma whelped you, or how long your family was there. My family homesteaded there earlier than yours. Got our name on a little known memorial wall there even. But that don’t mean nothing either. You’re confusing Texan with being a legacy in a sorority.
Nobody in Abbott agrees with you about Willie not being Texan.
Your hundred year thing? Bite me, Jerry Jeff Walker, Stephen F Austin, Sam Houston, Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett,,, none were born in Texas.
There is a modern cult of starched shirt Texans of which you sound like one. They love the DPS. They aren’t fans of open carry. They value rule following above every other pursuit.
In truth a Texan is anyone who can stand inside the borders that you ain’t big enough to make leave. That’s us. The Mexicans got ran out. And the Comanches and other assorted plains bums got run out too. They all live north of the Red River now.
So if you think Willie ain’t a Texan, then show us you can run him out. If you cant get it done, then THAT makes Willie a bona fide Texan. Because in its barest form, a Texan is someone standing between the Rio Grande and the Red River, giving you the finger and doing exactly what he wants. Always has been, always will be. Getting more that way again.
PS,,,I bet you voted for Cornyn/
Good for him.
I’ll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again
By Scott Emerick and Toby Keith
I always heard that his herb was top shelf
I just could not wait to find out for myself
Don’t knock it ‘til you tried it, well, I tried it my friend
And I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
I learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and passed him around
The last words, that I spoke before they tucked me in
Was, I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
My parties all over before it begins
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But, I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
I hopped on his old bus, the honey suckle rose
The party was Vegas it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge with just me and him
With one parting puff grim creeper set in
I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
My parties all over before it begins
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But, I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
Now we’re passing the guitar and telling good jokes
I know ones a-comin’ ‘cause I’m smelling smoke
No, I do not partake, I just let it pass by
With a smile on my face and a great contact high
I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
My parties all over before it begins
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But, I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
In the fetal position with drool on my chin
I messed up and smoked weed with Willie again
I haven’t heard this!!
Love Toby Keith.
Ha! Boy do you have your wires crossed about me!
Great lyrics!
“Ha! Boy do you have your wires crossed about me!”
So you chased Willie outta Texas? Ill watch TNN and see if the story comes up.
Let’s put it another way. Back when the first musical recordings were made in Texas around 1924 or 1925, by folks like Lloyd Finlay, Fatty Martin, and Jimmy Joy, were a raggedy, dope-smoking hippie like Nelson happen to appear on a streetcorner of some towns like Anson, Zavalla, Coleman, Westphalia, Ben Wheeler, Archer City, or any other Texan town... would he have gotten a reception much different than that of the Santa Claus bandit in Eastland in 1929?
Willy has smoked so much he can sell his dried crap for $1,000 a pound.
When he dies, I hope he isn’t cremated. Everyone within a 20-mile radius will get a contact high.
Bravo!
