I am sure by now you all know that I am a huge Willie Nelson fan. I don't agree with his lifestyle, but hey, that is his business. I got the biggest kick out of this article I saw in today’s paper.
Prosecutor wants Willie to sing for plea

EL PASO, Texas, March 30 (UPI) -- A Texas prosecutor has recommended singer Willie Nelson settle up a marijuana possession charge by pleading guilty and singing a song in court.
Nelson, 77, was arrested in November after Border Patrol officers allegedly found pot on his tour bus.
Although settling such petty cases is usually done by mail, E! News reported Tuesday Hudspeth County Attorney Kit Bramblett said he thinks Nelson should pay a fine and entertain the court by singing "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" as a community service.
"You bet you’re a** I ain't gonna be mean to Willie Nelson," Bramblett told the Big Bend Sentinel newspaper

Yes, I had heard it was a joke but knowing Willie it would not surprise me one bit if it came to pass. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf Willie sings in court, I'll buy a copy :-)
ReplyDeleteI bet he will, and it will be on youtube.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend Beth

Aww My Dad was a big Willie Nelson fan. I went to your other blog and blogger told me it was taken off. :O( I hope it's a blogger boo boo and not taken off for good. Blessings, Joanne
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I don't mind either way since I'm just not a country fan...sacrilege I know. I hope that whatever the verdict you're happy my friend. Look at it this way: no matter what it's Friday tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI know a very funny joke about Willie Nelson. Unfortunately it's filthy.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Willies music.
To be honestly I don't know about him.
ReplyDeleteI will remember to listening his music in future.
Please take care,
Blessings Beth/
ReplyDeleteOh please doesn't the police have anything better to do? Like finding murders, kidnappers, etc?
I like his music to Beth , this is amazing story . Have a lovely day and hope the sun's shining where you are. Hugs Sheila x
ReplyDeleteI understand that drugs are illegal, but lets face it Willie isn’t gonna give up his “pot”. He’s an old man who does a lot of good for a lot of people with concerts that he performs and donates all of the proceeds to charitable causes like Farm-Aid. Mr. Nelson should have his lawyers submit a contract to the court charging any amount he sees fit for the performance.
ReplyDeleteWhat if he refuses?? They going to send him to the big house, where he’ll have to sing for his dinner? Funny stuff...
I like Willie Nelson When my daughters gave a big party for my XXth birthday i had the DJ play his 'Always on my Mind' for them from me, as like all mums you sometimes feel you didn't do enough for them.
