Re: Willie Nelson taken to hospital

I read this this morning.  I have a feeling he's not going to be around much longer.  He's getting old and has high mileage.  It will be a shame.

Re: Willie Nelson taken to hospital

Here's hoping he recovers.  He's not one to compromise quality of life for quantity, and he's been lucky enough to get both.   Now, I wouldn't particularly care for what he considers to be quality of life, but making those decisions for yourself is one meaning of the word "free."

Re: Willie Nelson taken to hospital

Update on Willie, Saw on TV this morning he's doing much better and no dates have been canceled. If fact he's already played one date in Dallas since getting out of the hospital. Hard to keep a good man down.

Re: Willie Nelson taken to hospital

They can't give him anything in the hospital that would make him wobblier than what he does voluntarily.  FREE WILLIE!!

Re: Willie Nelson taken to hospital

Willie played the best show I've ever seen. He did 2 hours came back did a solo then brought the band back for another half an hour. He really loves his fans. Best wishes to The Red Headed Stranger !!!
