Willie Nelson may be approaching his 80th birthday, but he's still a spitfire with a whole lot to say -- and he's not afraid to speak his mind, especially when it's a cause he believes in. Nelson recently opened up on his views of the Supreme Court's consideration of gay rights and same-sex marriage, and he was his usual 'Shotgun Willie' self.
Willie Nelson may be pushing 80 (April 30) but unlike some of his contemporary's like George Jones and younger artists like George Strait he has no plans to cut back on his recording or touring schedule. His new CD, "Let's Face the Music and Dance" is slated for release on April 16 and--like Willie--is an unpredictable mix of musical genres.
