WAY OT: Happy b-day Willie Nelson

by hotshot215 on Apr 30, 2008 5:35 PM CDT

Yes, the Red Headed Stranger and the pride of Abbott, TX turned 75 today. If I live as long as he, i hope to have a good time just like he has. Except for owing $16.7 mil in back taxes to the IRS and being married 4 different times. I guess that just helps make the story more interesting. Keep on rocking, old man. Its people like him that help make the world keep spinnin' around.

Willie Rumor

I always heard the rumor that he ran back into a burning house in order to grab his stash. I guess it was some really good stuff.

I'm guessing your sig quote comes from a game thread

but, wow, I could not agree more. That dude’s fucking ugly (no homo).

Come on man,

She’s 15.

She’s on the fucking disney channel.

And her dad needs his achy-breaky brainpan beaten in.

That’s a trifecta. You’re better than that.

Conversely, what’s your problem w/ Willie? Dude’s a Texas icon. A musical genius. And I’ve never heard any stories about him being an asshole or in love with himself, even though most people who reach his status are. Plus, he’s done alot to help the little man. Now I know at Highland Park they teach you that “helping the little man” is for suckers, but come on, what’s your beef?

Awesome

HBD Willie, though I may have to hand my bong over I didn’t even realize that it was today. A Texas legend that just won’t quite, you got to love him.

Willie

If you haven’t seen him live, you really need to. He puts on a hell of a show, regardless of his age. The fact that he’s 75 makes it that much more impressive.

But that river of tears has dried for all of us.

Has he gotten over his carpal tunnel issues?

The last couple times I saw him he either couldn’t play guitar much or not at all. That was a couple years back, though.

I'd say he has

saw him in October in College Station at the race track and he was jammin’ just as good as ever.

With karate I'll kick your ass, from here, to way over there...

God, I wish I had the talent to be a musician…
