AUSTIN, Texas (KTRK) -- Some Willie Nelson fans are seeing red after learning the country musician will be headlining a rally for Democratic Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke.
Dozens of people weighed in on Willie's Facebook page Wednesday after he shared a story about the upcoming rally in Austin.
While some people told Willie he needs to stay out of politics, others threw insults at the music legend. Still others applauded Willie's contribution to the 2018 campaign.
The event is set for Sept. 29 at Austin's Auditorium Shores.
Nelson is scheduled to perform alongside Joe Ely, Carrie Rodriguez, Tameca Jones and Nelson's sons, Lukas and Micah Nelson.
If you're interested in seeing the show, tickets are free but an RSVP is required.
O'Rourke is hoping to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in November's election.
11 words. One sentence.
And yet you completely and totally misunderstood every single word.
How is that possible? Are you an anti-Cruzer? Do you support Beto?
Charlie Daniels! Awesome
Not at all, in fact I admire your honesty. Texans are free to chose who they like or dislike and I respect their right to do so.
If we lose a senate seat because of Willie then we deserve what we get. Willie may influence some, but they were going to vote democratic anyway. There are some senile democrats that will always vote straight ticket. They bleed blue. Hispanics and other ethnic groups are beginning to wise up and some are switching parties.
Now consider Beto, he is of Irish descent with a Hispanic nickname, and a no nothing record of accomplishments. His only hope is that people will not notice he is pulling their chain to get elected. Cruise must convince these voters ol' Beto is yanking their chain.
Rafael, on the other hand, is of Cuban descent (by way of Canada) and has a proven voting record in the Senate. He is not as despised as many would have us believe. He has to convince them he is not yanking their chain or ours.

Sorry that I didn’t see the irony in your comment. Some threads about celebrities have been pretty bad in the past. Celebrities have misled many, and too many have been soft in the head.
At last! A safe place in Texas to not be a Willie fan! I didn’t know if it would be safe for me to “come out” as a non-Willie Texan. ;)
My concern is that Beto has charisma. That seems to sell in this era. There’s nothing charismatic or charming about Cruz. He’s just got the smarts and the conservative creds. Maybe I’m selling Texans (and most of today’s voters) short. Maybe they’re more sober about electing someone who’ll protect America and her founding principles than I give them credit for. We’ll know soon enough. I’ll be white-knuckling it till November 6.
Ping!
His objectified interview tells me he is your typical hate filled Lefty and has a mean streak, I have no use for him.
Willie’s had it with the man wanting him to pay taxes and harassing him, on his bus, about his pot smoking.
Sorry. Not sorry! PING!
I am sad Joe Ely got in on this thing.
RIP Joe
Beto was never this cool...NEVER

Its gonna be, what it’s gonna be, I am just a grain of sand, washed up in a foreign land, washed up and out of sight..
Fake-O is skilled at running away from debates...and accident scenes.
I might buy that if he didn’t sing the praises of Hillary and Bernie.
You fit in. So you’re not foreign. :)
