Willie Nelson

Tonight I bring you a modern rebel, one of the outlaw country western idols.

Willie Nelson has long been know for bucking the system. His life has seen him in trouble for tax evasion and marijuana possession yet he perseveres in his messages of peace and kindness.

An activist in the rescuing of America’s wild horses and anti-war spokesman, he also is one of the founders of the Farm Aid project. Over the years he has brought a series of music festivals featuring a large number of artists to raise money to aid struggling family farmers.

Tonight’s opening song is the one which brought Willie to my attention. It was the guitar playing that did it – simply amazing. I swear Willie will be playing that same guitar even after it has fallen to pieces!

Here then is one fine guitar player and his unique cowboy style solo and joined by his many friends.

Peaceful Solution:

There is a peaceful solution. It’s called a peace revolution.
Now let’s take back America.
There’s a war and we’re in it, but I know we can win it.
So let’s take back America.

It’s a dream, so believe it.
Now get ready to receive it.
And let’s take back America.

And when the war is over and we’ve won it
let’s remember how we done it so we don’t have to do it again.

There is a peaceful solution. It’s called a peace revolution.
Now let’s take back America.
There’s a war and we’re in it, but I know we can win it.
Now let’s take back America.

There was a peace resolution
and a peaceful revolution
and the peaceful solution saved America

Thanks Willie!
