willie nelson

Somebody once asked Willie Nelson why his new songs weren't quite as [cough] good as his old ones.

"Because I wrote my old songs when I was cold and hungry," came his reply.

Ain't that the truth.

It's Willie Nelson. Unless your are talking about some bizzarro Willy Nelson who sings Osmond songs and smokes fig newtons.

Well, add to that that (one of) his latest albums is "Countryman" and it's.... well... "REGGAE" At least that's what it says on the album cover. I got this gem in a box of record promos, and it's basically your normal Willie with a Casio keyboard playing a crappy MIDI reggae line behind it.

It's awful. Someone take away his food again.
