I told my friends I am going to the Willie Nelson concert on July 31 (2024) and a couple of them looked like they didn’t know who he is. Soooo:
Willie Nelson is a legendary American musician, singer, songwriter, actor, and activist, born on April 29, 1933, in Abbott, Texas, at the concert I am going to – he will be ninety-one years old. He is one of the most recognized figures in country music and has also ventured into other genres such as folk, blues, and jazz. He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Nelson’s career spans over seven decades, during which he has released numerous albums and singles, many of which have become iconic hits. Some of his most famous songs include “On the Road Again,” “Always on My Mind,” “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,” and “Whiskey River.”
In addition to his musical career, Willie Nelson is also known for his activism, particularly in support of farmers, the environment, and the legalization of marijuana. He has appeared in several films and television shows and has authored books.
Nelson’s distinctive voice, songwriting prowess, and enduring influence have earned him widespread acclaim and recognition as one of the greatest musicians in American history.
Also at this concert Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp. I guess I’ll have to post there info too. Youngins.
