ABOVE VIDEO: The word “legend” gets overused a lot, especially when talk turns to musicians. But Willie Nelson is the true embodiment of the word. The writer of such country standards as “Crazy,” “Hello, Walls,” and “Funny How Time Slips Away,” Nelson long ago distinguished himself as one of America’s great stylists, his Texas baritone blending country, blues, jazz, rock, and Latin into a form that might easily just be called “Willie’s music.” Along the way, he’s become a cultural force, as well, as an activist, actor, and author.
