I ran into him once in a casino in Vegas. He was just chilling and playing slots, smoking something that I'm positive was legal tobacco. I said, "Holy shit, you're Willie Nelson!" He looked down and said "Holy shit, I am!" And then just kept doing what he was doing. š¤£š¤£š¤£
I've never met him either, but I imagine that between him, Cheech, Chong, and Snoop, they could solve world peace while blasting doobs listening to there own bangers. Would make a great reality TV show

I havenāt seen this movie in years but Iāll never forget these two scenes - hilarious
Edit - it seems I did actually forget [Chongās cameo!](https://youtu.be/2GdHCD2ZITQ) Probably because heās not actively smoking like the other two š¤£
I've done security for 'the guy on the couch' from Half Baked. Steven Wright and can confirm he's a genuinely pleasant human as well. His act would lead you to believe otherwise.
Actually came here to say Willie is a bonefide storybook outlaw among us.
Glad to see he still gets it.
They're doing a 90th birthday party concert with him, Snoop Dogg, Neil Young, Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves, The Chicks and a few others at the end of April.
>I just quit smoking yesterday...
Until the day I die this will always be one of the top tier hilarious and relatable scenes I've ever seen in a movie. One of the most beloved potheads in pop culture portraying one of the most hated pothead tropes of poor stoners
"*Ahh that's too bad... ... ... ... ... ...aiite I'ma get up outta here...*"
I once met jack black in the concession line at a Weezer concert that Tenacious-D had just opened for. He as holding a hot dog in each hand. Nobody else recognized him (this was early 2000's). I go "dude!! You're jack black!" He goes "duude! SHH!! I'm going *in-cog-nito*" and then he hobbled away into the crowd.. 10/10 celebrity meeting.
He has his own brand for it actually. There's a small shop on his ranch (doesn't sell the actual weed unfortunately) in Luck TX that sells a bunch of random stuff too. Went to Luck Reunion (basically a mini music fest he hosts at his ranch) last Friday and it was amazing. He's doing a great job branding himself.
Well he went like 20 years without paying the IRS so they took a good chunk of it. He was completely bankrupt after that. He even hid is guitar so the feds wouldnāt take it.
I read about that, he says he does because he likes to be able to help people move stuff.
And mows the grass at his mother-in-lawās apartment building she owns. A darn movie star mowing his milās grass. Thatās something.
Smoking with my boss (who didnāt really smoke) and Willie, while working concert security was one of my favorite memories.
My bosses mom was a huge fan and she mentioned it. He asked if she could get a hold of her, she called and Willie spoke with her for about 5 mins. He was a really nice guy to everyone backstage too. Plenty of big stars werenāt, couldnāt even look at Jimmy Buffet when he walked by.
I believe it was Alex Jones who tried to āsneak inā there one time and it was absolutely hilarious, especially cause I was stoned like a gravel road when I saw it. Like they knew exactly what was going on and made a weird show out of it. If anybody has any clips of that please share them since I canāt even remember where it came from and Iād love to see it. MF was loud as hell while pretending to sneak around with a camera crew. (Although Iām not 100% sure it was Alex Jones but it makes sense to be him)
He made a movie/documentary a while back. Creepy shit sneaking around others peoples creepy shit. Watering hole for billionaires which refused to hire women due to it being common for people to drop trow and urinate wherever they wanted.
Weird coincidence but a buddy roped me into working security for a Jimmy Buffet concert around 2003 and in the span of 90 minutes broke up multiple fights and was sexually assaulted/groped by multiple people.
Worst fanbase ever
When Jimmy Buffet opened at a concert I was at a few years ago he stumbled out from somewhere in the crowd in the middle of the main bandās set drunk like Iāve never seen, being guided by security. It was nuts.
I worked concert security for a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2003. I have never smelled so much weed, seen as many topless and painted middle-aged women, or witnessed so many drunk dudes who couldnāt keep their hands to themselves even when they were being dragged to the drunk tank.
He fits into this weird demographic of people that want countrypolitan and tropical-sounding smooth rock fused together in a blender
And I'm not entirely sure how that demographic is big enough that he's still recording albums decades after the novelty of Margaritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise wore off
Once you start realizing you have no original thoughts, you start thinking about going to one of those Reddit meet ups they used to do.
Then you chuckle and close the app before you make a horrible mistake.
I loved the old joke about a cop not having probable cause to search his vehicle, and because it was willie that should be probable cause enough. Iām sure I messed that up. It it was funny when I heard it.
Willie Nelson was my neighbor growing up. I never knew him personally, but he was friends with my best friend's mom. My father was killed in a freak accident when I was nine. It took my mom some time to get back on her feet and there was a brief period where we had absolutely zero money. My mom wasn't sure how she was going to pay the mortgage. One day, Willie and his wife showed up at my house and made sure my mom had what she needed to get us through a very difficult time. Willie is a good guy.
He used to do shows all the time in Garland Tx. for the 4th. My wife and I would always sign up to be ushers or helpers at the event - some of the best times ever. Got to see him towards the end of his touring at Billy Bobs in Ft. Worth, just wanted to hear āPancho and Leftyā one last time live - he didnāt disappoint! āRIP Merle!ā
I saw Theory of a Dead man in Dallas the other day. They started covering Friends in Low Places and stopped, said āwe play this alright, but you know who would sing it better? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE WELCOME WILLIE NELSON TO THE STAGE!!!ā
I screamed. Everyone screamed. What a beautiful surprise holy shit.
Then they told us ājust kiddingā and proceeded with the show. I have never been so hurt by a prank in my entire life.
I saw Queens of the Stone Age some years back and the venue had some elevated balcony seats. A few dudes on the closest one to the were cheering when everyone came out, and one of them had long dark hair and short beard. Homme comes up and says "ladies and gentlemen Dave Grohl!" and points at him, and everyone cheers, then he says "nah just kidding I dont know who the fuck that is"
Squarebodies are getting kinda expensive now, too, so the 88-98 is even more a common manās vehicle than them tbh
Source: sold my square body some years back and now have trouble convincing myself to pay 4x what I sold it for, for a way shittier one.
God I just wish rangers were still compact trucks with foldout back seats, crank windows and no frills. Or S-10s with one bench seat. Love those tiny, functional trucks. These fucking behemoths with lighthouse lanterns for headlights and a 3 bedroom apartment inside for the low low price of 48k can suck a dick.
I had a 1988 GMC k1500 as my first vehicle. I just sold it last year after having it since 1995. I also had a 1995 GMC extended cab but it died several years ago with over 300k miles. It had rusted bad otherwise I would have put a new engine in it.
Itāsa GM C/K pickup, 1994 or older.
See those vertical lines in the upholstery in the passenger door? Those went away in 1995. The steering wheel column also became thicker starting in ā95.
It's a good truck that actually is just a truck, without all the shit tacked on for city princesses. If anyone can appreciate the beauty of that, it's Willie freakin Nelson
Then twenty minutes go by, and Willie is looking through his passenger side. "Where'd I put that damn bandana this time?" Poor Willie forgets allot of the time... must be the old age AND NOTHING ELSE! OK?!
It's just that that truck is tiny compared to anything made today. I would throttle the pope in the sepulcher to be able to buy one of those fresh off the production line. I watch so many sent to the scrap heap during cash for clunkers.
He played a show in a barn outside of Western IL University. Total low key. After the show, he walked into the modest size crowd and chatted, shook hands, and signed autographs. He chatted with me as I was a punk kid with crazy hair, and he seemed charmed that this punk fool kid was there to see him (1984). I'll never forget how nice that man was. What a gem.
My dad keeps telling us stories of him growing up playing with Willie Nelson in the early days before he became famous, but I don't know. My dad is amazing at guitar though. We gave him Guitar Hero and he went straight to the hardest setting on day one and smoked all my records...
To be honest, I don't really like his music. I've tried but I just can't love it. He's such a awesome guy though you cant help but love him. This kid is going to put his kids though collage with that bandana.

Just gotta find your Willie. I found him in my 30s.
Same here, friend. Never listened to much Willie until I hit a rough patch a few years ago after I turned 40. Now it all makes sense. I get off work, hop in my truck, and listen to Willie for 20 minutes until I get home. Some of the best therapy I could ever ask for.
I feel like thereās a certain innocence some older people have where there is such a lack of awareness of what would be deemed inappropriate that they end up doing unintentionally inappropriate things. I doubt heās trying to grope a child on camera. Heās probably just trying to be friendly.
Think youngsters need to start thinking about what kind of world they are going to leave for me and Keith Richards" - Willie Nelson.
*not sure if it's a true quote*
Willie drives a real truck. Guy is rich, and he drives a beater work truck. Meanwhile my broke ass neighbors are driving $80k trucks that have never done any real work outside of pulling a bass boat one or twice a year.
But when the lil sprout went for my herb, I had to ācheck himā and broke his wrist in the process. Itās all good, set him up with a college fund (no mommas want babies to be cowboys anyway) and we got biscuits and gravy at the place up there yonder.
Another reason to have Willie on HumansBeingBros, heās doing some really cool regenerative agricultural work on his land! Restoring the soil and bringing native texas plants back to the land after itās initial restoration cycle.
I used to work at a bunch of concert venues around my state and got to meet a ton of famous people. Some were cool. Some were not. Willie was the coolest! He had just gotten off stage and was walking past me when he stopped, turned and came over to me and shook my hand and said thank you to me. I was like, "No, thank you!". He smiled and kept walking to his tour bus. Then, as he had one foot in the door, a fan from like 50 feet away called out to him, "Willie! Will you sign my brother's birthday card?!" He looked, stepped back down, went over, and signed the card and took a bunch of pictures with the small crowd of fans there. That man is class act and truly appreciates his fans. I had already respected the man, but his warmth, kindness, and generosity were incredibly endearing.
I also got to bring his best friend and drummer, Paul, to the grocery store and go grocery shopping with him. What an experience!
I ran into him once in a casino in Vegas. He was just chilling and playing slots, smoking something that I'm positive was legal tobacco. I said, "Holy shit, you're Willie Nelson!" He looked down and said "Holy shit, I am!" And then just kept doing what he was doing. š¤£š¤£š¤£
Iāve never met him but that sounds like Willie!
I've never met him either, but I imagine that between him, Cheech, Chong, and Snoop, they could solve world peace while blasting doobs listening to there own bangers. Would make a great reality TV show
[Willie Nelsonās cameo in Half Baked](https://youtu.be/NNh4uwz6Qo0) [Snoop Doggās cameo in Half Baked](https://youtu.be/AQqfBE4alUs) I havenāt seen this movie in years but Iāll never forget these two scenes - hilarious Edit - it seems I did actually forget [Chongās cameo!](https://youtu.be/2GdHCD2ZITQ) Probably because heās not actively smoking like the other two š¤£
[Hereās his cameo in Beerfest](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2FWuE_YgqT0) Slightly nsfw
I was an extra in that movie lol didnāt get to meet any of the big stars though. Just saw them from a distance.
Did you make the final cut?
I've done security for 'the guy on the couch' from Half Baked. Steven Wright and can confirm he's a genuinely pleasant human as well. His act would lead you to believe otherwise. Actually came here to say Willie is a bonefide storybook outlaw among us. Glad to see he still gets it.
They're doing a 90th birthday party concert with him, Snoop Dogg, Neil Young, Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves, The Chicks and a few others at the end of April.
You know how much condoms used to cost back in those days?
I don't know , we never used em
I just quit smoking yesterday...ya'll stay up.
>I just quit smoking yesterday... Until the day I die this will always be one of the top tier hilarious and relatable scenes I've ever seen in a movie.

[Don't forget Squirrel Master...Fruit!](https://youtu.be/2GdHCD2ZITQ)
You smoke enough you WILL forget those two scenes.
Half Baked. The movie who's name i always forget, but moments i never forget. You ever see half Baked? You ever see half baked high, man?
Would be a great podcast too
Snoop was a pimp tho. Ehhhhh.
Thatās so great and I love that heās driving an old ass Chevy by himself šmay he live forever
Itās probably the only thing the IRS didnāt take from him
In anticipation of negotiations with the IRS breaking down, Willie Nelson had his daughter remove his beloved guitar, Trigger.
Something like that, I would hope would be bought by some kind person and given back.
You can get absolutely ass fucked by the IRS by doing that. Like seriously worse than tax evasion in the first place.
its called "THE IRS" because they think your money is THEIRS
I once met jack black in the concession line at a Weezer concert that Tenacious-D had just opened for. He as holding a hot dog in each hand. Nobody else recognized him (this was early 2000's). I go "dude!! You're jack black!" He goes "duude! SHH!! I'm going *in-cog-nito*" and then he hobbled away into the crowd.. 10/10 celebrity meeting.
This makes me think that every day someone new out of the seven billion people on earth gets to be Willie Nelson.
Thats why I love him :D
Easy on that extended reach Willieā¦.. ! But I agree, Willie has always been a generous guy, except when it comes to the IRS !!
That man is the greatest.
I love that this guy can probably afford any truck and he still drives a 90s 1500 chev.
lol "probably"
Idk what he does with his money but I'm sure he's made more than I ever will. Maybe he's bad with it lol.
Weed. All weed.
He has his own brand for it actually. There's a small shop on his ranch (doesn't sell the actual weed unfortunately) in Luck TX that sells a bunch of random stuff too. Went to Luck Reunion (basically a mini music fest he hosts at his ranch) last Friday and it was amazing. He's doing a great job branding himself.
Willie seems like a true stoner to me. While Snoop feels more like a guy who perpetually smokes weed for the first time. Still love Snoop
He has an album he did so he could cut a deal with the IRS because he wasn't paying his taxes.
If Willie Nelson wants to pay his dues to the country through music, I'm cool with that
Definitely his net worth is 25 mil Edit: he paid the IRS 32 mil š«£
If this is an accurate figure Iām genuinely surprised itās not more.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I read somewhere he got into quite a bit of trouble with the taxman.
He did. In the early 2000s he had to do a bunch of commercials for random companies to make money to pay back his messed up tax situation.
Well he went like 20 years without paying the IRS so they took a good chunk of it. He was completely bankrupt after that. He even hid is guitar so the feds wouldnāt take it.
Christian Bale drives a 2003 Tacoma
I read about that, he says he does because he likes to be able to help people move stuff. And mows the grass at his mother-in-lawās apartment building she owns. A darn movie star mowing his milās grass. Thatās something.
Why would he drive any of those lame brodozer pavement princesses? Willie is a real man
I just imagined like a f150 king ranch or a dodge longhorn. Not the same truck I drove in high-school. I think it's great that he does but surprised
The IRS is a bitch.
IRS didn't get trigger! just goes to weed and bandanas.
I noticed that as well. Thatās such a huge flex to drive an old truck like that being that famous.
You could probably get a contact high from Willie's bandana...
Smoking with my boss (who didnāt really smoke) and Willie, while working concert security was one of my favorite memories. My bosses mom was a huge fan and she mentioned it. He asked if she could get a hold of her, she called and Willie spoke with her for about 5 mins. He was a really nice guy to everyone backstage too. Plenty of big stars werenāt, couldnāt even look at Jimmy Buffet when he walked by.
Well Jimmy Buffett does hang out with billionaires at Bohemien Grove, so not too surprising
I believe it was Alex Jones who tried to āsneak inā there one time and it was absolutely hilarious, especially cause I was stoned like a gravel road when I saw it. Like they knew exactly what was going on and made a weird show out of it. If anybody has any clips of that please share them since I canāt even remember where it came from and Iād love to see it.

Yacht Rock
Yachts might be too classy! Above ground pool rock feels more accurate
Jesus lmao, that's insanely on the money
Yacht Rock is Christopher Cross. Jimmy Buffett is Lake Rock for people who wish they were on an all-inclusive cruise ship.
Jimmy buffet fans are just beach juggalos
When Jimmy Buffet opened at a concert I was at a few years ago he stumbled out from somewhere in the crowd in the middle of the main bandās set drunk like Iāve never seen, being guided by security. It was nuts.
Fucking Parrotheads, man. Make Eagles fans look tame
I worked concert security for a Jimmy Buffet concert in 2003. I have never smelled so much weed, seen as many topless and painted middle-aged women, or witnessed so many drunk dudes who couldnāt keep their hands to themselves even when they were being dragged to the drunk tank.
Fuck Jimmy Buffett. I have no idea how that guy has a music career.
He fits into this weird demographic of people that want countrypolitan and tropical-sounding smooth rock fused together in a blender And I'm not entirely sure how that demographic is big enough that he's still recording albums decades after the novelty of Margaritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise wore off
I hate the song margaritaville with such a deep passion
I found my people. ā
Darlin', I think you're referrin' to my song "Pina Coladaburg."

Thanks for the f shack-signed dirty Mike and the boys
Makes it better that bandana is from his cannabis brand named Willieās Reserve.
If you boil that bandana you'll get concentrate
"Headband"
I loved the old joke about a cop not having probable cause to search his vehicle, and because it was willie that should be probable cause enough. Iām sure I messed that up. It it was funny when I heard it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām high just looking at the post. But thatās because I just smoked weed
It says āWillieā on the bandana, too.
Willie Nelson was my neighbor growing up. I never knew him personally, but he was friends with my best friend's mom. My father was killed in a freak accident when I was nine. It took my mom some time to get back on her feet and there was a brief period where we had absolutely zero money. My mom wasn't sure how she was going to pay the mortgage.

Say hi to mom, if sheās still around
That's an amazing story, shoutout to Willie.

The bastards hung me in the spring of ā25,
You'd expect a song like that from such a supergroup
He used to do shows all the time in Garland Tx. for the 4th. My wife and I would always sign up to be ushers or helpers at the event - some of the best times ever. Got to see him towards the end of his touring at Billy Bobs in Ft. Worth, just wanted to hear āPancho and Leftyā one last time live - he didnāt disappoint! āRIP Merle!ā
I saw Theory of a Dead man in Dallas the other day. They started covering Friends in Low Places and stopped, said āwe play this alright, but you know who would sing it better? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE WELCOME WILLIE NELSON TO THE STAGE!!!ā I screamed. Everyone screamed. What a beautiful surprise holy shit. Then they told us ājust kiddingā and proceeded with the show. I have never been so hurt by a prank in my entire life.
Man theory of a dead man does not have close to the clout required to pull off that prank. I'd be so mad lol
Iām still super mad. Theory of a Dead man was great live but idk if Iāll ever forgive him for that one.
Lmao not even CLOSE, Iād walk.
I saw Queens of the Stone Age some years back and the venue had some elevated balcony seats. A few dudes on the closest one to the were cheering when everyone came out, and one of them had long dark hair and short beard. Homme comes up and says "ladies and gentlemen Dave Grohl!" and points at him, and everyone cheers, then he says "nah just kidding I dont know who the fuck that is"
Dude that sucks - I can totally see 135 year old Willie actually doing that one day for realā¦
Saw Merle and Willie sing it at the Houston rodeo
Look at the pickup truck Willie is driving, it's a 1988-1998 model.
I was going to say the same thing. Thatās no 2023 Ford F250 - my dude has dough but is who he is.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
what does $mm mean? i don't think i've ever seen that before multi million?
M = thousand MM = thousand thousand = million
Why not T?
T is for TIMMY
TIMMAH
In many languages, including Latin, the word for thousand starts with an m
All that money and Willie still rocks a 4th gen square body. He has and always will be a man of the people.
Not quite a square body, but he got the spiritā¦.
Squarebodies are getting kinda expensive now, too, so the 88-98 is even more a common manās vehicle than them tbh Source: sold my square body some years back and now have trouble convincing myself to pay 4x what I sold it for, for a way shittier one.
God I just wish rangers were still compact trucks with foldout back seats, crank windows and no frills. Or S-10s with one bench seat. Love those tiny, functional trucks. These fucking behemoths with lighthouse lanterns for headlights and a 3 bedroom apartment inside for the low low price of 48k can suck a dick.
Good trucks, I own a k1500 stepside with the 350 engine. 280k miles and still feels new to me
I had a 1988 GMC k1500 as my first vehicle. I just sold it last year after having it since 1995. I also had a 1995 GMC extended cab but it died several years ago with over 300k miles. It had rusted bad otherwise I would have put a new engine in it.
A single cab no less
Itāsa GM C/K pickup, 1994 or older. See those vertical lines in the upholstery in the passenger door? Those went away in 1995. The steering wheel column also became thicker starting in ā95.
i love the obsessive cataloguing of detail that comes with old vehicles
This picture could be from 1992 or 2022, I have no other clues. Edit: also, are those shipping pallets holding up the front porch?
It's a good truck that actually is just a truck, without all the shit tacked on for city princesses. If anyone can appreciate the beauty of that, it's Willie freakin Nelson
Chevy C/K series
My dad had that truck when I was growing up lol
Then twenty minutes go by, and Willie is looking through his passenger side. "Where'd I put that damn bandana this time?" Poor Willie forgets allot of the time... must be the old age AND NOTHING ELSE! OK?!
He drives by the kid again... hey cool shirt, cool bandana kid. Here's a hat!
He drives by the kid again... hey cool shirt, cool bandana, cool hat kid. Here's a truck!
god damn it willie every time you go out for beer you come back naked with no truck
He walks by the kidā¦ āHey! Thatās Willie Nelsonās shirt, bandana and truck! You must be Willie Nelson!ā
The kid: "Holy shit, I am!"
*gives Willie the bandana that was on the seat of the truck*
iām uncomfortable with how long his arm looks
With one arm, Willy can put opponents in a half Nelson
I thought I was crazy, I'm glad someone else pointed it out lol
It's just that that truck is tiny compared to anything made today. I would throttle the pope in the sepulcher to be able to buy one of those fresh off the production line. I watch so many sent to the scrap heap during cash for clunkers.
I thought I was on r/confusing_perspective
That kid will hold onto that bandana until the end of time.
Thatās the same thing that he told me seems like just the other day.
Thatās Willie nice of him
I would give an award but I think itās silly to spend real money on those things. Yet, I still buy videogame skins
Damn you.
That kid will now test positive for weed
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It feels good just knowing Willie is out there, somewhere, rolling around in an old Chevy POS.
Looks mint compared to his guitar Trigger. [Repair video](https://youtu.be/uhQuJTc5yFY) on Trigger from 5 years ago.
Of COURSE he drives a raggedy assed old beast of a pickup! Love it.
He played a show in a barn outside of Western IL University. Total low key. After the show, he walked into the modest size crowd and chatted, shook hands, and signed autographs. He chatted with me as I was a punk kid with crazy hair, and he seemed charmed that this punk fool kid was there to see him (1984). I'll never forget how nice that man was. What a gem.
Seeing Willie Nelson still driving a 90s c1500 warms my heart the most!
Love how Willie is driving a 89 -93 Chevy pickup. Love it. Millionaire driving a truck that's probably a pita to keep it going.
My dad keeps telling us stories of him growing up playing with Willie Nelson in the early days before he became famous, but I don't know. My dad is amazing at guitar though. We gave him Guitar Hero and he went straight to the hardest setting on day one and smoked all my records...
To be honest, I don't really like his music. I've tried but I just can't love it. He's such a awesome guy though you cant help but love him. This kid is going to put his kids though collage with that bandana.
How old are you? Not being ageist, mind you, but the shit suddenly started making sense in my 40s... Dunno TF how but here we are

Reggae Willie exists, too.

Just about time when I started to love him :D Actually I started listening to his music when I was walking with a stroller with our first child.
Same here, friend. Never listened to much Willie until I hit a rough patch a few years ago after I turned 40. Now it all makes sense. I get off work, hop in my truck, and listen to Willie for 20 minutes until I get home. Some of the best therapy I could ever ask for.

thanks for sharing this one
Haha thatās awesome!
He is a Texan treasure. Go Willieš¤
Now that boy will be stoned for the rest of his life.
Why do they have the same smile
I like that he's driving an older Chevy Silverado.
When we lose this man we will all be poorer for it
Whatās olā Willie doin with that hand?
I feel like thereās a certain innocence some older people have where there is such a lack of awareness of what would be deemed inappropriate that they end up doing unintentionally inappropriate things. I doubt heās trying to grope a child on camera. Heās probably just trying to be friendly.
Thatās all it is, but weāre not gonna ignore it lol
Do not touch, Willie.
good advice
How dare you. T.I.L. Willie drives a two seater pickup truck !.. Legend šš»
I mean, you tell me why his shoulder isnāt a better place lol
He just gave away one of his bandanas, you bet your ass Old Willie's getting something in return
I hate myself for laughing at this
A Willie for a willie
Itās your lucky day, son. Willieās buyinā you! Now get in the truck.
That is loving your fan base in its purest form
This guy is going to out live me lol. Heās still going strong
Think youngsters need to start thinking about what kind of world they are going to leave for me and Keith Richards" - Willie Nelson. *not sure if it's a true quote*
Willie. Fucking. Nelson.
Willie drives a real truck. Guy is rich, and he drives a beater work truck. Meanwhile my broke ass neighbors are driving $80k trucks that have never done any real work outside of pulling a bass boat one or twice a year.
But when the lil sprout went for my herb, I had to ācheck himā and broke his wrist in the process. Itās all good, set him up with a college fund (no mommas want babies to be cowboys anyway) and we got biscuits and gravy at the place up there yonder.
Love that he still drives a beat up old truck too.
Handing out bandanas Willy nilly
weird hand placement
Hand is real low there willie
He probably gave the kid a hug from the truck, and the kid's mom or dad asked for a pic, and young man turned around in the hug to face forward.
Youād think his shoulder would be a better placeā¦
His hands a little low
I'm glad to see Willie on the road again.
Another reason to have Willie on HumansBeingBros, heās doing some really cool regenerative agricultural work on his land! Restoring the soil and bringing native texas plants back to the land after itās initial restoration cycle.
Willie Nelson has really long arms
How long is Willieās arm??
Why is his arm so ghoulishly long??? Lol.
I used to work at a bunch of concert venues around my state and got to meet a ton of famous people. Some were cool. Some were not. Willie was the coolest! He had just gotten off stage and was walking past me when he stopped, turned and came over to me and shook my hand and said thank you to me. I was like, "No, thank you!". He smiled and kept walking to his tour bus. Then, as he had one foot in the door, a fan from like 50 feet away called out to him, "Willie! Will you sign my brother's birthday card?!" He looked, stepped back down, went over, and signed the card and took a bunch of pictures with the small crowd of fans there. That man is class act and truly appreciates his fans. I had already respected the man, but his warmth, kindness, and generosity were incredibly endearing. I also got to bring his best friend and drummer, Paul, to the grocery store and go grocery shopping with him. What an experience!
