I finished Willie Nelson's book,

'It's a Long Story', and it was good, but it didn't fulfill it's early promise, of being 'outstanding' to the end, as it got a 'little slow' in places, just like real life. He's a gentle soul, with a tough streak beneath, who has an amazing ability to put words and music together, with universal truth, born from sorrow and joy. I had no idea how many songs he'd written (over 300), how many adventures, wives and homes he's had, and at 82 he's still going strong, with over 150 shows last year. A real life troubador, who believes in a positive attitude, a higher power and the pleasures of the open road. A living example against those who claim pot makes everyone a 'couch potato'.
