Willie Nelson turned 81 this week, and he looks it. He's a wiry man with wiry hair and the complexion of a wicker chair. But he's fit. Real fit. How much? Like 5th-degree-black-belt-in-gongkwon-yusul fit. So don't hassle Willie. If he sings a little off key, or exhales a big cloud of purple kush in your face, let it slide. Not because he's a living music legend (he is). Not because we should respect our elders. No, because Willie might put his country-singing, NORML-supporting foot up your ass if you don't watch it.
Good thing he seems like a pretty nice guy.
