12. A friend of mine has an autograped pic of Willie that says:
Think Good Thoughts, Willie Nelson. It's been 15 years since I saw it but I've never forgotten it. I'm in Nashville and wish we had more artists like him-
I saw Willie Nelson and Beck play together in Chicago in '98 (I think). Up until then I only knew Willie Nelson as that guy my parents liked. During that show I gained such a respect for him not only as an artist, but as a human being. That's something that only a few musicians can form in their fans.
I'm a big Randi fan, listen every day, but she didn't let him do much talking. I think she was excited and got a little carried away. I wish I could have heard more from Willie, we get 4 hours of Randi everyday.
There's so many things going on in the world Babies dying Mothers crying How much oil is one human life worth And what ever happened to peace on earth
We believe everything that they tell us They're gonna’ kill us So we gotta’ kill them first But I remember a commandment Thou shall not kill How much is that soldier’s life worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing Everything we’ve been told from our birth Hell they won’t lie to me Not on my own damn TV But how much is a liars word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
So I guess it’s just Do unto others before they do it to you Let’s just kill em’ all and let God sort em’ out Is this what God wants us to do
(Repeat Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing Everything we’ve been told from our birth Hell they won’t lie to me Not on my own damn TV But how much is a liars word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
Now you probably won’t hear this on your radio Probably not on your local TV But if there’s a time, and if you’re ever so inclined You can always hear it from me How much is one picker’s word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
But don’t confuse caring for weakness You can’t put that label on me The truth is my weapon of mass protection And I believe truth sets you free
(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing Everything we’ve been told from our birth Hell they won’t lie to me Not on my own damn TV But how much is a liars word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
15. Just learned recently Willie wrote Patsy Cline's "Crazy"
I was watching a country songs count down show a few weeks ago, and Crazy was one of the top 5 and they said who wrote it. Apparently, that was Willie's break into CM.
The obvious thing for Willie to do is switch from XM radio to Sirius, who broadcast AirAm in its entirety. So why hasn't he? Because he once ENDORSED XM radio, LOL!!!!
