In Willie’s early years, he drank a lot, a really lot. He beat his wife regularly, One night he came home raving drunk and passe out in his bed. She sewed him up in the sheets and beat him to a pulp with a baseball bat. He was lucky to survive. A decided pot was a better alternative. Later he got into tax issues, guess the pot made him forget to pay, so the IRS helped him to remember. He got his friends to hold concerts for him to pay off his debts. He also sold a golf course for a buck to a friend to keep it from the IRS and later got it back. Not much of an American Idol, but did have a pretty good twang in his prime.
Them pig tails look stupid.
And his voice sucks for a singing voice.
Never saw why he was so popular
Never cared for him or his music anyway.
Why give him crap. He’s just the liberal version of all of us here.
NELSON: I’ve been supporting Democrats all my life. I haven’t hidden it that much.”
BEHAR: Are you getting a lot of flack, and how are you dealing with it?
NELSON: I love flack! We’re not happy ’til they’re not happy. I think everyone has a right to their opinion, They’re entitled to their opinion, and I’m entitled to mine.
Honestly who doesn’t feel the same here about liberals?
Up yours with a cactus branch, Willie!
(the late) Janet Reno
Madeleine Albright
and...
Willie Nelson.
Ticket sales? I would pay money to NOT hear Wasted Willie.
.
lol
Lyrics slightly altered....
And John McCain loved it so much he had it played at his funeral...
So what? I never liked the sorry drunken, stoned fool anyway.
Anyone who thought Willie was a conservative is too ignorant to deal with. Love his music, and he is the only person on earth I’ll give a free pass to.
“And his voice sucks for a singing voice.

I know where you didn’t grow up.
His tax issues were thanks to Reagan era Democrats. When they agreed to his first round of tax cuts they insisted that investments that gave tax breaks of almost 10 to 1 for each dollar invested be made illegal....retroactively. Willie was making a good buck and his accountants and investment advisors told him Limited Partnerships could help him with the 80 - 90% tax rates he was hitting. They were right...until Democrats screwed him. Willie blamed....Republicans.
Women usually don’t like guys who have big ears. I’ve noticed the smaller a dude’s ears are, the prettier is the chick accompanying him.
An 85 year-old stoner is a liberal. Who’d have thought?
You and me both! Just up and sing. Willie Nelson had a 30-year backlog of top songwriting credits for Patsy Cline, Bobby Bare, Ray Price, David Alan Coe, Bill Anderson, Brooke Benton , etc., before he became a “star.”
It’s don’t easy to stay with your vision for 30-years.
It’s easy to pick up Jimmie Rodgers’ baton and have a hit on your first record like Bob Wills.
And I love to death Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Wills, Bill Anderson, Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Waylon Jennings and Roger Miller, who is the little fiddle player for Ray Price’s first big hit, Crazy Arms.

Thank you. He did write a few good songs as long as somebody else sings them. Other than that, he sucks. JMHO.
