Music, movies, more music, some doobies; Willie Nelson has had a great career so far. One of the legends of country music, Willie turns 79 today! I have listened to good ol' Willie my whole life and in the past few years have come to admire him even more for his stand for the gay community. Nelson even contributed a song to the Brokeback Mountrain soundtrack, Cowboys are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other, and has been quoted thus:
"Rednecks, hippies, misfits — we're all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless. I don't like seeing anybody treated unfairly. It sticks in my craw. I hold on to the values from my childhood."
AMEN, WILLIE!! Nelson has many, many songs that I love, but I'll just share a few today. Enjoy this legendary musician and keep on ridin' and smokin', Willie.
