• Best Willie Ever

  I read an article in Parade magazine this weekend about one Willie Nelson. Although you’ll need the actual hard copy to read the article, you can read the interview here:

  Wait, maybe I’ll hold the issue up to the camera and take a picture and post that so you can see what it looks like. Ohhhh, I know, maybe I will draw a picture of me reading the magazine. No, Mike, it’s enough with the drawings. Nobody likes the drawings. For the love of Jeff, no more fucking drawings!

  So anywho, back to Willie Nelson. Turns out that in some ways, he is the perfect celebrity. How so you ask? Well, he appeals to pretty much everybody. Try finding somebody who doesn’t like him. I’m not saying that people like his music, because outside of “On The Road Again” I really don’t like any of his music, as its country music and I HATE country music. But, the guy can not be anymore likable. Let’s face it, there is a certain demographic that likes country music. Don’t understand? Well let me spell it out for you. White people. And not just white people, but, well, rednecks and Republicans. Oh sure, there are non rednecks or non Republicans that like country music, but for the most part that is the demographic of country music. And while many of them disagree with many of his views they still like him. And for a mega liberal like myself, when I read about his views and his life, he stands for everything I stand for. And how could you not love a guy who is nearly 80 and still as big of a pothead as a college student and proud of it?

  I do realize that he could totally be a fake and not be as compassionate and caring as he seems to be, I’m convinced that he is genuine in that compassion. He wants to bring people together instead of dividing people as so many things seem to do in life. Just ask people what they think of him, most people would not have a bad thing to say about the guy, which is damn rare to find about anybody, especially a celebrity.
