I'm a huge Willie fan. In my opinion he's one of the finest songwriters and performers, ever, any genre.

If he'd written nothing more than "Crazy", he'd still be a HOFer.
HANK: So Bobby, we got to think of a hero for you.
BOBBY: Do you have a hero, Dad?
HANK: I sure do, and it's Willie Nelson.
BOBBY: How come?
HANK: Well, you might say he's been my inspiration. See, Willie grew up in Texas, and I grew up in Texas. He loves golfing and playing guitar, I love golfing and playing guitar, he's had trouble with the IRS, and I must have spent six hours last April on that 1040 form -- EZ my ass.
BOBBY: I like Willie Nelson. He's got long hair, he's alternative.
HANK: Now you take that back! I've followed that man from Country and Western to Country to Adult Contemporary, and that's as far as I'm going.
I'm a huge Willie fan.
So, banjo, are you implying that size matters after all?
For some reason, this post reminds me of the best country music joke ever:
An elderly woman decides that she wants to demonstrate her love of country music, so she goes to the tattoo parlor and gets a tattoo of Hank Williams on one thigh and a tattoo of Chet Atkins on the other. That night, she lifts up her nightie to show her husband the new artwork and asks him, "Can you tell who these singers are?" The husband looks back and forth a few times and says, "Well, I'm not sure about the guy on the right, or the guy on the left, but that guy in the middle is definitely Willie Nelson."
