  1. Why does Willie have two birthdays?

    Willie was born in 1933 in Abbott, Texas, a small town about 25 miles north of Waco. His actual birthday is April 29, but, because he was born so late at night, the country clerk wasn't able to record it. So, on paper, his birthday is April 30. #willienelson #birthday #countrymusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #country #classiccountry

  2. Rest in Peace DAC! And happy birthday, Willie.
    David Allan Coe is certainly the most controversial figure in the outlaw movement, and he has undoubtedly made mistakes. Anyone can make mistakes, but few are able to admit them, face the consequences and try to make amends. To me, you’re still a hero. For let he who is without sin cast the first stone … or something like that.
