So he wasn't driving, And the driver wasn't imbibing?
So what? In texas the cop probably would have scored an autograph and left with a warning.
BTW Willie, Those of us that travel that corridor know to watch out on I-10 there.

One toke over the line Sweet Jesus, one toke over the line.
What's the big deal. If the driver wasn't toking, who cares if some men in their 50s and 70s get cool.

I'm going to get this idiot a ticket with a stop in Singapore. Doubtless he'll have something illegal on him. In Singapore you get arrested and executed. End of story!

Respect your elders! Leave the guy alone. Notice that the driver was not arrested for DUI. They were not stopped for weaving but rather a commercial inspection. Sounds like a Louisiana traveler trap to me.

And Willie, there was an episode of Monk where you appeared and Monk went into your coach and made a crack about 'that smell.' Willie, in the future you gotta travel incognito. Dress your rig out as one of those Japanese tourist buses and fly below the radar. All white and lettering that says NippoTours or some such.

And to all of you right wing Nazis telling him to grow up; go pop some Prozac and leave the thinking people alone.

Too bad life has no joy without rough chemicals for someone so rich and famous, living a life of dreams! Shrooms cause schitzophrenia and psychosis. No wonder he's writing WeirdO Cowboy lovesongs lately. Embarrassing to hear even...

I just returned home for a cruise to Jamacia. I miss the laied back outlook there. The drug laws are bull****. Excuse for the goverenment to make cash and fund the private sector by building prisons to hold the people arrested. Waste of time and money trying to leglislate morality. People do what they want anyway. Big Brother just mad he can't tax it.
People seem to forget that the constitution is a contract between us and the government. A contract that has been breached.

On a side note. I wish Willie the best. I would just say from now on... bring aair purifier. And insents.

Peace

Let Willie roll on, he's done a lot more good for folks than harm, the Gov't doesn't need to pick on Willie again. You put him in jail, we'll just bust him out.

I don't see anything wrong with marijuana and mushrooms, as long as the people that are using them aren't hurting others.

This brings me to another point though: if the driver of the bus (or anyone who had driven the bus and it can be proven) was under the influence, he/they deserve a stiff penalty. It's impairing to one's abilities, just as alcohol is. That's what is important here.

I love Willie's music. It's great, but any 73 year-old that is driving around the country smoking pot and shrumes has problems. Most people learn by age 25 that partying is only a short-term fix.

It's not surprising or uncommon but unfortunate that a man that could be a positive role model to youth sets such a poor example.

thanks willieSep 20th, 2006 - 08:57:47

when I was 7 my mom followed a High School a sweetheart to tennessee and left me and my brother at a safe place away from my alcoholic dad who beat the shit out of her in front of us. As the weeks and months went by that Willie Nelson record played like my moms freedom cry. On a snowy Buffalo night during the blizzard of 1977 my mom moved me and my brother to Knoxville tennessee. She went to Catholic school and graduated high school a sleder hot virgen unlike you holy rolling sluts that That are now lard asses taking your you best rendetion of sweet potato casserole with your I'm Fat but cute minnie marshmellows cover the top of it. The first time my mom ever smelled burnt rope was at that Willie concert in Tennessee. She moved us thier. Thank you so much willie for inspiring my mom to back us up and move away from everyone. You make people change. Life is great in tennesse and i would not be here if it was not for some 'life is better down south' music that you sing. Smoke all you can, It has no effect on me but you as a person has certianly made my life better.
