Is This Interesting?
Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:
Well, I was going to write about my favorite ACL festival moment, which was seeing Willie Nelson blow all those young rockin’ scamps out of the water with country, soul, rock, jazz, and Texas magic. He was amazing at 73-years-young. If you have or haven’t seen him, if you like or dislike his music, if you can’t see or hear, just go to a Willie show for the vibes, man! Yes, I could elaborate on all this, but for now, I must say that Louisiana sucks:

Country Singer Willie Nelson, 4 Others Cited for Drug Possession
By VOA News
19 September 2006

Authorities in the U.S. state of Louisiana have issued misdemeanor citations to country singer Willie Nelson and four others for drug possession.

Officials say they found 680 grams of marijuana and about 85 grams of narcotic mushrooms on Nelson’s tour bus during a commercial vehicle inspection Monday.

Louisiana state police said in a statement that police searched the bus after detecting a strong odor of marijuana from the vehicle during the inspection.

Police say Nelson and the four others on the bus were given the citations and released. The 73-year-old Nelson, whose hit songs include “On the Road Again,” has been a vocal advocate for legalizing marijuana.

Listen up, citizens, State Troopers, and all reasonable people: A bus containing Willie Nelson, his Family Band, marijuana, and narcotic mushrooms can and will result only in POSITIVE THINGS. This is 2006, and I ain’t gonna preach, but damn. Let’s get our priorities straight. Don’t make us come over there, Louisiana.
