Willie Nelson

b. 29 April 1933, Abbott, Texas · American singer, guitarist, songwriter & author

Willie Nelson is an American singer, guitarist, songwriter, actor and activist, born in Abbott, Texas in 1933 — one of the architects of outlaw country and a founder of Farm Aid. He is also a working author: The Tao of Willie: A Guide to the Happiness in Your Heart (2006), written with his long-time friend Turk Pipkin, is a slim collection of road-tested life advice rather than a memoir. The line people pin on Dale Carnegie is the sentence Nelson chose to open it with.
