Thread Name: Willie Nelson, an appreciation
Subject: RE: Willie Nelson, an appreciation
I like Willie for the same reason I like a lot of folk singer types, although as has been pointed out Willie is not a true folk singer. I like them because they are not afraid to be individuals. As was mentioned Willie decided not to conform to the wants of Nashvillism and started his own thing. To be able to remain an individual and not be part of the "In Crowd" often takes a lot of intestinal fortitude, and I think Willie has shown a lot of that, as have many other performers.
