When you think of Willie Nelson, you associate him with four things. Those four things are that he is a singer, the songs he sings, his 2 long braids and that he smokes marijuana. Well, we can cross one of those things off the list. He told KSAT TV’s Paul Venema that he no longer smokes the good stuff.
The Country crooner explained why, “I have abused my lungs quite a bit in the past, so breathing is a little more difficult these days and I have to be careful.” So careful that he takes better care of himself, now at 86, then he did when he was younger.
In fact, Nelson revealed that performing an hour on stage is a good workout for him. To all those people who thought he would never be on the road again, he says, “I don’t give a sh!t, I’m here, I’m glad to be here.” We are glad to have him be here.
It is just going to take us a while to accept that he no longer smokes. But we got used to without braids for a little while, so we will get used to this too.
