He looked 60 in the 70s

[@stevenmartinez438]

On the bucket list. Smoke a j with Willie

[@FPOAK]

"Are you a religious man?" "Probably." Everything that comes out of Willie's mouth sounds cool.

[@kaeschievink7802]

The most played song ever in juke boxes. Crazy yup thats crazy.

[@brodysdaddy]

[@presence9745]

This man has written so many hit songs for other musicians.

[@tiffanyhardin1840]

Wow!!

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

This is so true

[@spongeblonde1309]

Pretty sure they used Willie Nelson’s hair to sew the American flag.😉 National treasure! 🙌❤️🇺🇸

[@pattondiorama7136]

Was Willie getting misty eyed listening to his songs?

[@joansnow4013]

Lifelong stoner, makes me think that it isn’t all that bad!

[@peterknelsen]

He is great but would he be that great if he wasn't pushin pot?

[@andypistole8363]

It's going to be a National Tragedy when that breaking news comes that he's gone.

[@TheWieger01]

a tragedy for his family

[@keefriff99]

Don't even wanna think about it.

[@tr0nd15c]

I’ve thought about traveling to Texas for his public funeral. Gentle sage voice he has. I’ve fallen asleep to his KZbin card trick soothing story narration before.

[@gladiatorsrage99]

He is 86 years old, he has lived a more interesting, successful and incredible life than most of us could ever dream. It's not a tragedy to die of after such a life you imbeciles. Miss his presence? Ya sure...but it's hardly a tragedy.

[@chrisalucca5067]

*universal tragedy

[@johngullo9420]

Willie has been so good for so long. A legend.

[@johnm3152]

Q: Are you a religious man? Willie: probably. In the running for best response evr.

[@matkavelimatters4148]

Man did that get a laugh out of me haha

[@integral]

Yeah, I would imagine when you get to be Willie's age you become a bit more open to religious themes in your life.

[@Mylo12321]

integral you took words right out of my mouth. He’s contemplating the possibility in his old age.

[@amandanelson4093]

Grandpa Willie is extraordinary. He is like Betty White he cant die.

[@cherylb2008]

Listen to every golden word because the man is a legend. Remember that not many will be around who knew Patsy Cline and many other greats.❤️

[@Chrisicola]

Howard really hitting his interviewing stride with this clip. Great job.

[@robotjeans]

We need a Willie Nelson doc or movie

[@Chrispypullen]

Living legend right there. What a talent.

[@jerrodp9867]

The only man Snoop Dogg said out smoked him. Snoop had to tap out. Let that sink in.

[@jeffstone2136]

Willie hotboxes weed in the car when he composes. You can tell this by the names of the songs on his new album. "F****, I Dropped The Roach (aka Burning Trousers Blues)", "My Kingdom For A Mars Bar", "The Steering Wheel Feels Awesome", "Coughin' Back The Tears", "The Dak Seat Of My Chevy", "I Forgot To Remember To Remember Not To Forget To Remember", "Bob Marley In The Bayou", "How Do You Open These Damned Doors" and "Kush-ed To The Speed Limit".

[@oldiesfreek]

Legend.

[@tested123]

[@HG-pi3qp]

[@jimmyfreeman5714]

[@brodyharris7631]

Are you a religious man? Probably. Fucking love Willie. GOAT. It's not even close.

[@malenotyalc]

I wish you asked him how many other songs he wrote while driving that were never any good.

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]
