and pardon my french, but, well, my gut reaction upon reading this was, the commenters at Hot Air are just fucking stupid..
Willie was always a fraud to me anyway. A hollywood discovery, he went from a C level artist to a legend in about 5 years all based on hollywood loving him.
for one thing I’ve never been impressed with Willie, he’s a hack that can’t sing
Sorry but crazy-willy’s music has always sucked… He’s been hyped more than the freakin’ Stones. Julio and Willie? check please… On the road again, *audible Yawn*.
He was Waylon’s wierd friend until hollywood “discovered” him in about 1974. Canned music, that’s all he is.
Bullshit. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. I am one of the LAST people on earth who'd agree with Willie Nelson's politics, but to say that Willie became a star because of Hollywood, that he's a hack and that he can't sing is just stupid. "Georgia On My Mind," anyone? Anyone? "Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain?" I wonder how many of those mouth-breathing morons were saying Willie was a genius after he did he did "Beer For My Horses" with Toby Keith a few years ago. As far as I'm concerned that was as big of a blot on Willie's musical record as the duet with Julio Iglesias...for the singer, not the song. And something else I wonder, does the fact that I won't be tossing my Willie cds make me a commie heathen?
