	Willie Nelson: We have a lot to learn from horses - CNN.com
		Nelson should be commended for defending the nobility of the horse and what he perceives as its abuse.
		Willie (with your help) is bringing "America's dirty little secret" to the forefront so people who don't know the slaughter situation even exists, will be calling their Senators to try to get S 1915 passed before the end of the year.
		I stand beside Willie Nelson and anyone else who is in favor of outlawing the abhorrent manner in which we allow creatures over which we have dominion, such as horses, to suffer needlessly.

		Nelson remained at the top of the country charts until the mid-'80s, when his lifestyle -- which had always been close to the outlaw clichés with which his music flirted -- began to spiral out of control, culminating in an infamous battle with the IRS in the late '80s.
		During the '90s, Nelson's sales never reached the heights that he had experienced a decade earlier, but he remained a vital icon in country music, having greatly influenced the new country, new traditionalist, and alternative country movements of the '80s and '90s as well as leaving behind a legacy of classic songs and recordings.
		Willie picked up the guitar, and by the time he was seven, he was already writing songs.

		Willie came of age during the heyday of one of the greatest periods of popular songwriting in the 20th century.

	Michael Long on Willie Nelson on National Review Online
		Willie Nelson is now a brand name — and missing an opportunity for a licensing bonanza from manufacturers of blue jeans, bar stools, or chewing tobacco.
		By the early 1970s, Willie had abandoned the typical country sound for an amalgam of honky tonk and folk, with splashes of a country-rock sound that was growing in popularity with the success of bands such as the Allman Brothers and the Eagles.
		Willie is well engaged for the show and it comes out in his voice, which is fuller and stronger than usual, even in the studio.

		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.
		As ever, Nelson tours tirelessly, climbing aboard Honeysuckle Rose III (he rode his first two buses into the ground) and takes his music and fans on a seemingly endless journey to places that were well worth the ride.
		Willie has been the guiding force of Farm Aid over these twenty years since he organized the first concert for family farmers in 1985, taking us on the road to good food from family farms.

		By age seven, Willie was already writing songs, playing them on guitar with his sister Bobbie on piano, and picking up musical influences from the gospel and devotional music of Texas churches to the blues and Latino songs he heard from fellow workers in the fields.
		By contrast, Willie's almost-lifelong philosophy has been to record as much and as often as he has songs, and to play as many concerts a year as he can get to.
		Today, the crowd at a Willie concert generally encompasses several generations of music fans, from youngsters to great-grandparents, with a healthy dose of that all-important record-buying crowd in their teens and twenties.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Willie Nelson on Spinach
		Singer Willie Nelson said of his September 2006 drug offense, "It's a good thing I had a bag of marijuana instead of a bag of spinach.
		Often prefaced with the claim that it was "Willie Nelson's public statement regarding being caught with a bag of Marijuana," it laid responsibility for the trenchant remark at the country star's feet.
		There's no reason to believe Willie Nelson voiced the statement at any point in the fake quote's development: the news reports of the period were silent in this regard, which would not have been the case had the star said anything that witty.

		Willie's love of steaming soy milk—and when he is not steaming soy milk himself he is ordering soy mochas in from Starbucks—is not meant to show that he is in any way a "reformed" or altered tippler.
		She and Willie duet on three liquid numbers: "Sweet Georgia Brown," a slow version of "The Gypsy," and "The Heart of a Clown." Her lilting, dreamy piano complements Willie's voice as he carefully negotiates the complicated chord structures of the jazz songs, like a man climbing down from a high roof on a homemade ladder.
		Willie Nelson, however improbably, has managed to pull it off—perhaps because, uniquely, the circumstances of his career have meant that no one has ever demanded that he represent the unclouded condition of youth.

		Willie Nelson is every centimetre the highwayman; the sad, spiritual poet endlessly travelling Americana, truckstop, pitstop, small town and large, a battered 33-year-old guitar wearing the signatures of his best friends, precisely that.
		The other is because he's on that highway, he's part of the land, seems to breathe the very essence of the dirt and downbeat, is as much part of the folk as he is of folklore.
		His press is littered with euphemism and allegory about his presence: Willie Nelson is closer to a spiritual leader, a guru than a mere truckin' man. Some swear they've seen him heal people; others would die for him.
