Thank you Willie...for some kind words of Wisdom. I will try to check myself, with any negativity. Love Always.🙏✨

You may have saved my life, sir. Thank you for being an old badass.

I have a Psychology degree. I also have a masters in music. I have been diagnosed with a parkinson's which makes it hard for me to play my guitar or go fishing. But the true wisdom comes from living life. You don't need a degree for that. Willie you are a true inspiration. I am going fishing right now and then I will play guitar the best I can. Thank you so much for this moment of hope.

I feel privileged and grateful to have lived the first 40 years of my life on the same planet as Willie Nelson. ❤

I love his music, it's part of my story too. I just wish I could have, had my hat signed last week in Immokalee 😢. Keep on picking and singing Willie! Thank you for all the music you have given the world.

What a gift this man is! Doing it your way without backing down is rarely easy, but Willie does and continues to inspire others to as well! A true legend and a pioneer!

Thank you for supporting so many marginalized communities as well, sir (even when the rest of the crowd says it's the wrong thing to be doing)! Much love always, Willie ❤❤

Willie, an American treasure. I'm 70 years old, hung out with Willie and family before a concert 50 years ago. What a mighty fine Man, with great advice!

[somewhatdamaged]

Love everything about this man. I pray that God allows him to stick around just a little while longer. Not ready to see him go.

Willie is truly a classic!
A global treasure🥰
