Or take his statement that running for office would only be an option if he was stoned:Jeff Sessions recently said that pot is "only slightly less awful" than heroin.
I wonder if he's tried both of them. I don't think you can really make a statement like that unless you tried it all. So I'd like to suggest to Jeff to try it and then let me know later if he thinks he's still telling the truth!
Nelson says that cursing is exercise, just like running or riding a horse. He says that, if he were elected president, he'd immediately make "fuck it" one word. He can drop all of these lines and then pivot to a profound thought about the power of music. I want this written over an image of Nelson in sunglasses and framed on my wall:You sell "Willie Nelson for President" bumper stickers. Do a lot of people tell you to run for office?
Oh, yeah, which makes me even more glad that I didn't. I came close a couple times. And then I sobered up.
We must treasure and protect Willie Nelson, even if he could outfight, outsmoke, and outcuss every last one of us.Alex Robert Ross is on Twitter. Fuckit.I think you can do more with music than you can with arguments and politics. I think a song will reach more people than any other thing. There's a reason that it's called "harmony": When you play a show, there's an energy exchange with the people that is unimaginable. It's the reason I go out there. I get something out of it too.
