SAN ANTONIO - From spending more than two decades helping raise money and awareness of the plight of the American farmer through his Farm Aid concerts to advocating the legalization of marijuana, County Music legend Willie Nelson is not shy about taking a stand.

This time he is speaking out in favor of the Occupy Wall Street movement nationwide.

"Once the people have had enough, they will start speaking out and doing what they're doing," Nelson said. "And I'm proud of them for doing it."

I think Willie may be the first country music star to support OWS? I may be wrong, and if I am I stand corrected.
