In this Sunday’s issue of PARADE Magazine, Willie Nelson discusses everything from living on the road for six decades to legalizing marijuana and the heartbreaking story of his son’s suicide and three failed marriages.
In this very private and detailed interview Willie says:
“Anybody can be unhappy, we can all be hurt. You don’t have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits—we’re all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn’t matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.”
“I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times,” he adds. “It applies to music. A lot of country music is sad. Three chords and the truth—that’s what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.”
Make sure to check out the entire article in this Sunday’s issue of PARADE Magazine.
