I believe you are thinking of LSD. A little MJ never hurt anyone, unles you smoke all day, every day for years. Everyone should get high at least a few times a year.

I’m listening The Highwaymen now. Great, wonderful, Americana music. I love what these men have contributed to our music history for so many years (especially JC).

Remember when Willie showed up in Nashville to audition for the Grand Ole Opry? They told him he couldn’t sing and should go back to Texas. Somehow he persevered and did sing at the Opry for some time. I remember seeing a clean-cut guy with a cowboy hat and boots at the Opry in 1964. It was Willie Nelson.

I have heard that he has smoked himself stupid and is pretty much a dickhead if he is not high....
But I can be one too if I don’t have my caf and nic fix.

What a team. Me and a buddy wore out several eight tracks of “
Waylon Jennings - Wanted! The Outlaws” in high school.

Willie is an excellent song writer and that is what really got him started, imo. Some of the more famous include: "Night Life", (Ray Price); "Funny How Time Slips Away" (Billy Walker); "Hello Walls" (Faron Young); "Pretty Paper" (Roy Orbison); "Crazy" (Patsy Cline). After he moved to Texas and semi retired he got into the 'Outlaw Country' scene and the rest is history, so to speak.
Trigger, Willie's 'ol guitar has seen many miles and has the wear and tear to show for it. It also has been signed by a few other famous artist.

Not sure about one but the harmonica player is Mickey Raphael (http://mickeyraphael.com/) who has been with Willie for almost 40 years. His sister Bobbie Nelson is playing the keyboard.

He wrote Crazy. I like Patsy Cline's version the best, but that one song is enough to qualify as a career. Willie's voice is something of an acquired taste, but it grew on me.
