My record may say it, but no one will play it

Willie Nelson is a national treasure. Gonna see him tonight at the fair, and I am sooooooo thrilled.
The man is a gem.

His latest, Just Breathe - is an amazing, earnest Pearl Jam cover (the original, below, is also a gem). Not too shabby.



Here is the original with Eddie Vedder's melty voice....





Back to Willie, I actually have also always had a soft spot for the still recent (for him) Maria (Shut Up and Kiss Me) and it's cheezy video feat. Luke Wilson. It's so ridic. But beardy Luke Wilson lookin' cute and dopey!





And of course we couldn't enumerate all his many songs, for there are thousands, but how could anyone resist a song titled Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die:





And finally - one of my favorite songs - originally written/performed by Willie and then covered by the excellent and beloved band Cake - which is how I first heard and fell in love with it - Sad Songs and Waltzes. Swoon.




YAY!!!!! SO HAPPY :)
