Willie Nelson Busted For Possession

Posted Sep 18th 2006 2:06PM by TMZ Staff

Willie Nelson was issued a misdemeanor citation for drug possession early today when his tour bus was stopped in Saint Martin Parish, Louisiana.

TMZ spoke with a spokesperson for the Louisiana State Police who said "The tour bus was stopped on a common interstate vehicle inspection, and when the trooper approached the bus door a strong odor of marijuana was detected. The occupants were not brought to jail because it was not accepting [inmates] on misdemeanor charges."

During a search of the bus, police said approximately one-and-one-half pounds of marijuana and approximately two-tenths of a pound of mushrooms were located on the bus.

The 73 year-old country legend, the driver of the bus and three members of his band were issued citations for possession of mushrooms and possession of marijuana and released.

Willie Nelson warmed up for his Friday night concert for payingcustomers by playing a long freebie gig for soldiers injured inIraq.

It was the second straight year thatNelson squeezed in a show at Brooke Army Medical Center while heand his band were in San Antonio to play at the city's annualrodeo.

"I have a lot of respect for themilitary," said Nelson, himself an Air Force veteran. "I like toshow them that I support them every chance I get. ... We get asmuch out of it as (the soldiers)."

Last February the 72-year-old singerwore out his voice singing 11 songs at the Army hospital, and hehad to cancel his performance at the San Antonio Stock Show andRodeo.

He said part of the reason he came backwas that he felt bad his soldier concert was so short, never mindthat it was also at no charge to listeners.

Willie Nelson Releases Gay Cowboy Song

Posted Feb 14th 2006 2:59PM by TMZ Staff

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Country music outlaw Willie Nelson sang "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" and "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" more than 25 years ago. He released a very different sort of cowboy anthem this Valentine's Day.

"Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)" may be the first gay cowboy song by a major recording artist. But it was written long before this year's Oscar-nominated "Brokeback Mountain" made gay cowboys a hot topic.

Available exclusively through iTunes, the song features choppy Tex-Mex style guitar runs and Nelson's deadpan delivery of lines like, "What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?" and "Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out."

The song, which debuted Tuesday on Howard Stern's satellite radio show, was written by Texas-born singer-songwriter Ned Sublette in 1981. Sublette said he wrote it during the "Urban Cowboy" craze and always imagined Nelson singing it.

Someone passed a copy of the song to Nelson back in the late 1980s and, according to Nelson's record label, Lost Highway, he recorded it last year at his Pedernales studio in Texas.

Nelson has appeared in several Western movies and sings "He Was a Friend of Mine" on the "Brokeback Mountain" soundtrack.
