Willie just turned 80 and he's still going strong. He's had his problems (taxes, etc.) but is he good at what he does or what? Discuss.

Talk about unexpected longevity.  He seems to be holding up fairly well, considering he's no Jay The Juice Man.

I like this thread, because it isn't 10+ pages.

Not at all a fan, but it's cool that he's still rocking on.

I don't particularly care for his voice/delivery on his old stuff but his voice is fantastic now.

"You were always on my mind" is a great song.  I once went to a concert with Willie and Bob Dylan.  I went because I am a huge Dylan fan, but I ended up liking Willie's 1/2 of the concert better.

I saw Dylan in concert and he was just okay. Santana opened for him and he was awesome.

I enjoy Willie Nelson.

I woke up at 3:30 AM this morning and listened to Willie songs for 3 hours with my son.

Guess who is going to see Willie Nelson at New Orleans Jazz Fest IN FOUR HOURS? Because the answer is SB. Had no idea he just celebrated his 80th.
