He was 32 when that picture was taken. He is 93 now. When I was born, he was already well into his third marriage. Ancient people freak me out.

7-string guitar, interesting
Don’t do that shit, for a moment I thought he may have passed on
Never imagined him being in a suit outside of a funeral, but I guess it was expected at the time. Funny how we’ve gone full circle back into a similar control-freak dominated period, only instead of growing the US is in serious decline.
Photos from George Carlin’s early career are similar. Very clean cut.
This was just before the outlaw days. Then he started hanging out with Blaze and Townes, growing his hair long, and smoking them left-handed cigarettes.
The Nashville establishment didn’t know what to do with him and tried to make him a Countrypolitan crooner. They did the same with Waylon Jennings.
Yup. The Grand Ole Opry and the Nashville establishment had the world of country music by the balls. Willie’s career became defined by his opposition to those creeps.
Would be better without the commentary.
Misread that as “When he was born, he was already into his third marriage” and I was like “Yeah, I buy it!”
I found out recently he was a freshman at my university the year my mother was born and she’s 72
easy to see why he favors a beard.
You’re telling me that isn’t Nixon?
May OP live to be one of us.
How will you feel when you are an ‘ancient person’?
Slower and in more pain
Older.
I’ll feel it in my back most likely
