Willie Nelson

For the 28th year, country music icon Willie Nelson and rock legends John Mellencamp and Neil Young are teaming together for Farm Aid, a benefit concert for family farmers in America. This year's event will take place in upstate New York on September 21st. Tickets will go on sale June 28th.

Occasionally late night t.v. makes me laugh out loud, and this time it was Conan O'Brien with an audition tape of Willie Nelson trying out for the part of Gandalf in The Hobbit.

Just hours after the tragic fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, musicians with ties to Central Texas took to social networks to express their grief. Now, less than two days removed from the incident that killed around 35 people and injured over 160 more, Willie Nelson has changed his reaction into action. The American music icon has announced that he is turning his 80th birthday celebration

It's hard to believe but next month Willie Nelson will turn 80. Yes, that's right he will be 80 years old on April 29th and he's still going strong. He still tours and will have a new album released just ahead of this birthday.

Willie Nelson is more than just a fan of the marijuana, he LOVES it! Willie's autobiography is called, 'Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I'm Gone'... not a lot of gray area there.

Willie Nelson got busted for marijuana possession again this past November, just days before his performance here in Abilene. Many wondered whether he would make the show. Of course he did, and to a near sellout crowd.
