*** Happy Birthday, Willie ***

Willie is 75 today. I saw him in concert last Friday, and his voice is still in great shape.

Happy birthday to Willie. Here's to another awesome 75 years!

furrfurrfurr · April 30th, 2008, 08:29 AM

That calls for a special "toast" in his honor.

Cheers Willie.

Hated Willie till I met my wife 20 years ago. She was ( is ) a HUGE Willie freak and started making me tapes of his music. We were blessed to see him live once. Playing for hours in a cow pasture in the middle of nowhere. Amazing show. Living legend only begins to scratch the surface of Mr Nelson.

I've been big on Willie Hugh Nelson lately. I've been reading his Autobiography and listening to a lot of his music.

He is truly an American Treasure!

Happy Birthday Willie, wherever on the road you are!

Steve G · April 30th, 2008, 09:24 AM

Willie is an inspiration in his philosophy and music.
Happy Birthday, we want another 75 from you at least!

JimiBryant · April 30th, 2008, 09:25 AM

plain and simple truth, Willie is an American treasure.

here's my wishes for many many more Willie Nelson birthdays!!

Actually, in Willie's case I think it calls for getting toasted in his honor...

Willie is the only artist I know who is popular with both housewives and Hell's Angels without losing credibility

... We're talking integrety here

Happy Birthday Willie

I am proud to share a first name with Mr. Nelson.

Yep. I'd put him in the same class as B.B. King...that is, a living legend...someone that you MUST see while he's still living, whether or not you're a fan.

Of couse Willie's writing is just as eloquent as his musicianship.

Happy Birthday Willie!

Sorry, I am all tied up until 4:20. After that, we'll celebrate.

Mark Davis · April 30th, 2008, 04:01 PM

Ive met alot of people musicians actors actresses writers and Willie is the coolest person I have ever met in my life. There is something about him that is just so magical its hard to describe but you know it when you feel his vibes.

Willie should have been born 10 days eariler on 4-20 that would have been perfect! LOL
