You Gotta Love Willie
o
Something is wrong with you if you don’t love Willie Nelson.
There a great story about Willie going on trial in Waco several years ago for getting caught with marijuana in his car. The officer saw a car on the side of the road with a man asleep inside. A subsequent search revealed the evil weed.
During the pre-trial hearings, Willie’s lawyer asked the young arresting officer, “And, sir, what was your probable cause for seaching this man’s car?”
The young officer sat there for a minute and, with disbelief in his eyes at that question, answered the lawyer, “Uh, Sir, it was Willie Nelson.”
I think that story is true, In fact, I’m pretty sure it is.
Willie is going on Larry King Live and there’s a preview of Willie explaining that he partakes of a grass cocktail every day. “I have a huge tolerance for it,” he says, which pretty much qualifies as the understatement of the year. Huge doesn’t begin to cover it.
Gotta love Willie.
