91 years old and still sounds sharp as a tac. No slurred speech, good vocabulary range, doesn't lose train of thought. God bless this man. Makes me laugh when people say weed makes you slow and dumb I always point to this man, smoked more reefer than a village in Jamaica combined and he's doing just fine

Willie Nelson is on another level!!! SO IN LOVE ♥️the soft spoken genius has stolen my heart! Both of you!!!

[brewster]

These two, Willy and Dan, are maybe the only two public figures who I believe have always had something to say worth listening to.

I love Willy saying I get buy with three cords and the truth. That kind of humble got him a long way. He's got a lot to be proud of. I enjoyed the sit down. Let's talk and be ourselves interview. Two old guys I've admired since I was a kid for over fifty years.

He is so amazing amazing he has such a big heart he’ll save animals. He’ll be friends with anybody that wants to be and I’ve never got the chance to meet him, but he’s the kindest man I’ve ever got to talk to and I appreciate him. I appreciate what he did for the farmers held that concert just to help them out and he saves 70 horses the other day from death. He’s a brilliant man and not everyone is generous as he is. He has a big heart and a kind soul and I love him very much.

Read Headed Stranger is one of the greatest records of all time. It’s in my top 10 best full albums.

[zigzagwanderer]

I had an old guitar picking friend who could imitate Willy songs. Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground and Crazy were his faves. I like that song I'll Never Smoke Weed with Willy Again. Classic

[tymeryder]

Delightful exchange. Like "3 chords and the truth". words to live by in these times.

[DanielBurton-fqjj]

Two favorite men of music.

🙂 Nice interview. Much appreciation. Willie's done a good job with his kids. They're off to a good start. Interesting to hear about changes in the music business. Frankly, for some not a moment too soon. The internet seems to have given artists much more latitude. That's a good thing.
Thanks for sharing.

Two of Texas' finest.
