Now you've spoiled all of my fun. Yes, I got that quote from the internet. Yes, I know how unreliable internet info can be. But it was a Willie Nelson kind of thing to say, and I thought it was funny. The great thing about Willie is that he goes through the rough times and comes out the same old Willie. He goes bankrupt and then goes to work making life easier for farmers. I find it easier to like somebody like that than lying, drunken, egotistical politicans, or sports "heros" who can't stay out of court.

Now I'm wondering about Snopes. That's a website on the internet. How reliable are they? I'm on the internet. Can I trust me?

But you are right that Willie Nelson has made bad choices. I wish he would give up the pot, but it won't happen.
