He's an ordinary, decent, honorable guy, loaded with the unique God-given talent that he has. We are just all so priviledge that we know him and his kind, his friends and partners, like Walon, Kris and Johnny, among so many others. Thank God for these guys! And thanks, for the music!
I have a coworker who is from Mexico. I was driving us back from a job and playing some Willie, and my coworker woke up and said "This music is good, man". He's about 50 years old and his english is kind of rough, so he tries not to speak it too much, but he spoke up to say he liked Willie. It was a live album, Willie and The Family Live.
No there isn't! He is approachable and down to earth for a genius and one of the greatest singers of all time. Not ordinary or a regular guy. I love this man, and have for 45 years. I'm an opera singer, but he has always been an influence, and inspiration. All musicians should study his phrasing and way with lyrics. No word is wasted. Brilliant!
I don't think I have ever seen a video of Willie playing any other guitar other than "Trigger" his old Classic Martin N-20 with the hole worn through the top...
I first heard Willie’s music in 1962 before I knew about him when I listened to Patsy Cline’s version of “ Crazy “ and Faron Young’s version of “ Hello Walls . “ Have lived his music before I knew he had written both songs .
Near as I can tell first I heard of *Willie Nelson was a Farm Aid Concert. I LOVED his music ever since,* Anyone what don't like his music can go straight to Hell.
You won't believe this, but when I clicked on this video,I had no idea that it was also Wille Nelson's birthday as I'm writing this. It was only when he said his birthday was April 29th that I realized it. Today is April 29th 2018.Happy 85th birthday to him.
You know its strange.. Something me and my wife had in common was Willies music... And the day we became a couple where at the april of 29... No one of us actually knew that at that time so we where suprised to discover that Willies birthdate and our aniversity day was the same....
and my arrival was 0l0l1933, that the only thing i did first. You are the greatest along with Frankie....God wants you here. Keep singing! shirley joslin
Aside from 718heavyduty none of the comments could be further from the truth! Have none of you noticed that the interview was cut right at the end? Right at the most important part! Free speech my ass! Re watch the video!
A democracy is where there is an legislative issue and every person gets to vote. We live in a constitutional republic where we “elect” “representatives” to vote on legislation. The problem with thinking you live in a democracy when you live in a republic is that it sets one up to be deceived by individuals representing democracy when there is really no such thing in the whole wide world.
This is Democracy Now and she's asking him when he was born, as if she were about to chart his astrology. She asked him questions that are easily answered by going Online. She IS online so she wasn't preaching to any non-online folks. So what was the point of knowing when he was born? They asked him the same question twice and he was gracious enough not to point it out. This was pretty much an awful interview. "Sing us a song from your Highwaymen days." Huh? Look on youtube lady. Eight minutes into a 10 minute interview she starts asking opinion questions. Should have begun there.
Well... 'liberal' is not actually a word I would use to define his views... he supported Ronnie Reagan's space project in the '80s, for instance... I think Willie Nelson is a mixture of 'show-biz' mentality (be it Republican through his friendship with Frank Sinatra or Democrat like most of the show-biz itself) and southern individualistic-anarchist-rebellious spirit. He'd agree to support your cause because he's a friend of yours (this happened with Sinatra and Reagan) but he'd also prefer to stay out on his own to develop his beloved and passionate stances, REGARDLESS LEFT OR RIGHT. Now, his thorough environmentalism puts him more at odds with the right half of the US, generally speaking, but that doesn't make a liberal out of him. He's just like John Denver used to be, same sort of person.
Willie is very much alive and well 102120. We've lost Kenny, Harold, Little Richard, Charlie and most recently Mac. Not in a hurry for any more of the legends to pass
What a treat that's seldom seen in interviews. Willie singing a song and playing his guitar right there.
Willie never forgot his working-class roots. More power to him
@Willie Nelson My affection for your legacy is accepted by many up here in Northern California
He's an ordinary, decent, honorable guy, loaded with the unique God-given talent that he has. We are just all so priviledge that we know him and his kind, his friends and partners, like Walon, Kris and Johnny, among so many others. Thank God for these guys! And thanks, for the music!
Indeed. Great comment I feel the same
I love Willie Nelson. I've been listen to him since I was a boy back in the 70s and 80s.
Those people raised by grandparents are destined for greatness!
Great interview, I watched this when broadcast a few years ago, Love Amy Goodman and free speech TV, Willie is a true Legend
Willie, we appreciate you and your music.
Dang, he looks great for 84 years old, and he still jams well!
What a beautiful man, love ya Willie
A man who speaks his thoughts without hurting his popularity
Willie is a beautiful man!
He is the best...a true legend.
Love Willie!
Awwwwww...❤️❤️. Sounds like he had a interesting childhood, life etc...such a lovely person. He’s really well spoken ~ great interview.
Willie Nelson your my hero ...Joy to you and family
I have a coworker who is from Mexico. I was driving us back from a job and playing some Willie, and my coworker woke up and said "This music is good, man".

His best live album, by far. Honeysuckle Rose soundtrack is up there, too, but Willie and the band smokes on Willie & Family Live.
Many Blessings Willie xx

I agree with all the nice things below. I’m only adding more love to Willie. That was a very interesting interview.
Sorry, just wanted to add, there's nothing "ordinary" about ol' Willie! Luv ya, Wills!
No there isn't! He is approachable and down to earth for a genius and one of the greatest singers of all time. Not ordinary or a regular guy. I love this man, and have for 45 years. I'm an opera singer, but he has always been an influence, and inspiration. All musicians should study his phrasing and way with lyrics. No word is wasted. Brilliant!

I LOVE him!
Willie was born April 29th , 1933 . That day should be a National holiday !!
I first heard Willie’s music in 1962 before I knew about him when I listened to Patsy Cline’s version of “ Crazy “ and Faron Young’s version of “ Hello Walls . “ Have lived his music before I knew he had written both songs .
Sic - have LOVED his music
Simply Iconic and Brilliant 👏
GOTTA LOVE THE SONGS THEY TEACH GOOD STUFF GRANDPAPA.DAN
Near as I can tell first I heard of *Willie Nelson was a Farm Aid Concert. I LOVED his music ever since,* Anyone what don't like his music can go straight to Hell.
April 29/1933 welcomed a fine spirit of love and acceptance.
Inspirational, creative living and being an asset for this Earth.
You won't believe this, but when I clicked on this video,I had no idea that it was also Wille Nelson's birthday as I'm writing this. It was only when he said his birthday was April 29th that I realized it. Today is April 29th 2018.Happy 85th birthday to him.
Same here, except I'm watching this in 2019.
Happy b'day to Willie.

Doesn’t get much better than that.
What guitar is that?
Willys higher than Hitlers gas bill and he’s rich X2 after Taxman come. You gotta love him.
I cannot stand the show he's on, but love Willie.
LOL and Texans are now shocked that Willie is a liberal?

That guitar does not even sound remotely close to the way that Trigger sounds.
Škoda že jsem se nenaučila anglicky abych willymu
