He's earned every conceivable award and honor to be bestowed upon a person in his profession, including six GRAMMY wins, a President's Merit Award, a Grammy Legend Award and the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.
In many ways, however, the weighty distinction "living legend" does Nelson a disservice, for it discounts the extent to which he is a thriving, relevant and progressive musical force in the 21st century.
