Word is Willie will perform on the festival’s last day, which is free of charge thanks to a $300,000 donation from the Escambia County Tourist Development Council’s BP funds.

You Can Choose the Space Shuttle Wake-Up Songs

Posted by Country Girl on August 23rd, 2010

Only two space shuttle flights are left. That means there are only a few chances to choose music for the astronauts’ wake-up calls. Normally, that music is selected by family and friends of the astronauts. But, for the end of the shuttle program, NASA is throwing it open to the public.

You can vote on any one of NASA’s top 40. Those are NASA favorites that were used to wake up astronauts. They include tunes from Willie Nelson, Aaron Tippin, Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett. There’s another angle to this. NASA is accepting original songs. They’ll be voted on, too. Details are at https://songcontest.nasa.gov

Willie Nelson Talks Smoking Grass with Larry King

Posted by Country Girl on August 16th, 2010

A classic Willie Nelson moment if I ever did see one. In an interview with Larry King he asked Willie if he still smoked pot, and to the shock of exactly no one, Willie said yes. “I have a huge tolerance for it that maybe everyone doesn’t have.”

Willie also admitted to smoking pot just before this show and told Larry he would arrest him for it, offering his arms up for imaginary handcuffs.

Gotta love Willie Nelson!

Willie Nelson is Talking Music & Heartache in This Weeks PARADE Magazine

Posted by Country Girl on June 25th, 2010

In this Sunday’s issue of PARADE Magazine, Willie Nelson discusses everything from living on the road for six decades to legalizing marijuana and the heartbreaking story of his son’s suicide and three failed marriages.

In this very private and detailed interview Willie says:

“Anybody can be unhappy, we can all be hurt. You don’t have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits—we’re all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn’t matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.”

“I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times,” he adds. “It applies to music. A lot of country music is sad. Three chords and the truth—that’s what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.”

Make sure to check out the entire article in this Sunday’s issue of PARADE Magazine.

“We Are The World” Remake Includes Big Country Music Names

Posted by Country Girl on February 2nd, 2010

Just like 25 years ago, when musicians came together for the original “We Are the World,” country stars are in the mix this time, too.

Here are the singers with country ties who took part in the new recording last night: Miley Cyrus, Sugarland, Zac Brown, Julianne Hough and Jeff Bridges. Jeff Bridges has been singing country because of the movie, “Crazy Heart.” They joined dozens of others like Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Natalie Cole, the Jonas Brothers, Kanye West, Tony Bennett and Jennifer Hudson.

The original included Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kenny Rogers, which was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. That first recording raised millions of dollars for famine relief in Africa. Money raised from this new recording is to help the people of Haiti.

Willie Nelson Cancels Show for Bum Hand-Band Cited for Pot & Moon Shine

Posted by TawnyTucker on February 1st, 2010

Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson canceled his North Carolina show on Friday because of a “bum hand” ironically only an hour after his band was issued citations for possession of marijuana and moonshine. Sixty-year old bass player Dan Edward “Bee” Spears, and five others were charged with possession of non-tax-paid alcohol, and two of the six were also charged with marijuana possession.

Police searched the bus after smelling the jonga…

Way to go Willie, stay true to yourself….Don’t let the man get you down.

Thieves Steal More of Country’s Autographed Items Meant for Charity

Posted by Country Girl on December 30th, 2009

Photo Credit: LARA SOLT/DMN

I guess the economy is really hitting a new low with people breaking into and stealing things that simply don’t belong to them. First the Charlie Daniels Band Museum in Nashville was hit with more than $200 being stole from a cash register and now a storage unit in Dallas was hit hard.

On Christmas Eve burglars broke into Uncle Bob’s Self Storage in Dallas and took more than 60 celebrity-autographed guitars that were to benefit Friends of Purtis Creek State Park.

“Taylor Swift, Trace Adkins, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley,” Brian Hughes ticked off the names of the stars who had signed his guitars. “Everyone was willing to help; the retailers where I got the guitars and all the artists were willing to sign.” “The guitars are one of the main sources of income for the Friends of the Park,” he said. “There’s a lot of equipment that we have here that was funded by the Friends.”

Now a guitar autographed by members of the band Rascal Flatts is all that’s left. Hughes had it at his home when the storage unit was picked clean.

You can find out more about Friends of Purtis Creek State Park by clicking here. Anyone with information about the burglary or the whereabouts of the guitars is asked to call Garland police at 972-205-4845.
