Happy Birthday, Willie Nelson!
Willie: Texas Monthly: "So much has been written about him in the past 75 years (a good chunk of it in Texas Monthly) that we wondered if there was anything left to say. Which is why we called the people who know him best: the friends and admirers and collaborators who've been with him through every phase and stage of his life. Jimmy Carter, Emmylou Harris, Robert Redford, Lyle Lovett, and many more pay a special seventy-fifth-birthday tribute to the most important musician ever to come from Texas—and, perhaps, the most iconic Texan of all."

You've got to love Willie. He is sui generis.
A friend recently told us she knew someone whose teenage daughter was offered pot at Willie's house - like every other visitor, apparently.
They really broke the mold.
Last time we saw him in concert he did a bunch of "classics" like "Stardust" along with his own classics.
