Willie Nelson, great American, tells it like it is
New song to be aired


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

Better Duck Willie, here it comes

1. You Know What's Funny?
Willie is on a double bill tonight in Nashville - with Toby fucking Keith.

4. Willie talks about Toby here:
http://www.statesman.com/metrostate/content/auto/epaper/editions/wednesday/metro_state_f32f47573469912e1081.html

My favorite from this article:


Asked if he's concerned that the new song -- which asks such biting questions as "How much oil is one human life worth?" and "How much is a liar's word worth?" -- might cause a backlash with conservative country music fans, Nelson said, "I sure hope so. I don't care if people say, `Who the hell does he think he is?' I know who I am."

2. What beautiful lyrics. Can't wait to hear him sing it.
Seriously considering sending it to my wingnut sister and her family, although I doubt it would light any bulbs there.

7. To live outside the law you must be honest
Funny how the guy has his recording studio taken by the IRS. He settles with the IRS. His friends buy it and give it back to him.
