What specifically makes him a shit human being?

Dude went all in on excommunicating people that spoke out against the war and pandered his music to the hyper conservative support the military demographic.

From what I remember, he himself wasn't like that. It just sold music. Calling him shit would be harsh but maybe if he was caught drunk driving we could justify it.

IIRC Kris Kristofferson (an actual Vietnam vet and outlaw country singer) told him to kick rocks with his jingoism bullshit and was ready to throw down on him until Willie Nelson intervened. When Willie Nelson is the peacemaker and thinks you’re out of pocket you know it’s bad

[Andalusian girls]

i liked Kristofferson but he never set foot in Vietnam and that story is extremely apocryphal

[Outlaw]

I can't tell you how sick I got of the 9/11 song and "Beer for my horses." when they were popular.

I do not wish cancer on anyone but he did it to himself. He was a heavy drinker and used chewing tobacco.

Seems like Toby and Kris both denied it happened but some people say it did, oh well it's still a fun story

In 2009, actor Ethan Hawke wrote a guest story for Rolling Stone about this wild verbal altercation that went down at Willie Nelson’s 70th birthday concert back in 2003.


Hawke was a guest at the party, as were a number of other celebrities including Elvis Costello, Wyclef Jean, Norah Jones, Shelby Lynne, and Paul Simon.

Keith was bursting onto the scene with songs like “Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue,” and “Beer For My Horses,” featuring Willie Nelson himself.

Of course, Keith falls about as far right on the political spectrum as you can get, and Kristofferson, who’d been best friends with Willie for years, was… not.

So, the night of the concert, Keith (who Hawke actually didn’t name in the article, but referred to as a “star who had a monster radio hit about bombing America’s enemies back into the Stone Age”) walked past Willie and Kris who were standing together, and told Willie “Happy birthday.”

But he then made a snarky remark to Kris, saying:

“None of that lefty shit out there tonight, Kris.”


Needless to say, Kris didn’t take to kindly to Keith’s remarks, and responded:

“What the f*ck did you just say to me?”

Willie knew Keith had just struck a nerve, saying:

“Oh, no. Don’t get Kris all riled up.”

Keith proceeded to say:

“You heard me.”

And began to walk away.

Kris responded:

“Don’t turn your back to me, boy.”

Keith:

“I don’t want any problems, Kris… I just want you to tone it down.”

Kris, a former Army Ranger and helicopter pilot, said:

“You ever worn your country’s uniform?

Don’t ‘What?’ me, boy! You heard the question. You just don’t like the answer. ‘Have you ever served your country?’ The answer is, no, you have not.

Have you ever killed another man? Have you ever taken another man’s life and then cashed the check your country gave you for doing it? No, you have not.


So shut the f*ck up… you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”

Kris then told those nearby:

“You know what Waylon Jennings said about guys like him? They’re doin’ to country music what pantyhose did to finger-fuckin.'”

[Andalusian girls]

you ever killed a man for your country asks country music star who was stationed in Europe during the great German War of 1964

I mean prostate cancer is incredibly treatable and unless he has the rare subtype he'll die of old age long before he dies of cancer.

I will wear a wizard hat and try to convince the king that we need to infuse his potion in a reverse bloodletting procedure to cure his cancer if paid enough.
