Willie Nelson to be honored as a BMI Icon
The great Willie Nelson will be honored by BMI on November 6th at their 2007 Country Awards dinner. Willie will be joining some pretty good company, as some the past honorees include Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Charlie Daniels, Bill Anderson, Paul Simon, Carlos Santana, Brian Wilson, the Bee Gees, and Crosby, Stills, & Nash. Pretty impressive company, I’d say. Some of the many songs Willie has penned are “On The Road Again”, “Good Hearted Woman”, “Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground”, “Hello Walls”, and “Crazy”. Well-deserved I say, and I’m sure fun and festivities will be enjoyed by all. Wonder if Willie will repeat is White House moment on BMI’s plush roof??

I saw Willie was in the Nat’l Enquirer today – they said he was dying. I hope there isn’t a bit of truth to that. That will be one. sad. day. For us Texans too.
Honey, don’t you worry about Willie, you know he will be right there with Keith Richards (I sure hope so anyway). It will be a sad, sad day in the world, and Texas and Tennessee for sure, but a happy day in heaven–Waylon and Johnny and June and Patsy will surely have the beer on ice, and the guitars ready. I loves me some Willie. And some Kris. You just can’t make me believe that they make men like that anymore. Except maybe Jack Ingram. I do likes that boy, and you know he is from TEXAS!
