Willie Nelson to sing in court?


Willie Nelson got arrested at a border control in November for possession of marijuana on his tour bus.


The great man said  "I had forgotten that there was this little bag of weed on the bus that had been in the back there for weeks when I had been gone," "Naturally when they stopped us there the dogs came on and the first thing they went to was that little bag of pot." 


Hudspeth County prosecutor Kit Bramblett said they would waive Nelsons drug charge if he "pay a small fine and ... sing Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain with his guitar right there in the courtroom" Ha! Cheeky bastard!


The next day judge Beck Dean-Walker said Bramblett was trying to be funny "and it got out of hand". Fuckin lawyers eh? Who'd've thunk they'd have a sense of humour?


He faced up to 180 days in jail. Fuckin hell? For a little bag of weed? Fortunately he only has to pay $378, I think it's safe to assume he's got that covered.


Here's my favourite Willie Nelson song:




He is one of the coolest dudes ever!


Keep blazin' Willie!
