The blogosphere is full of comments like this about folks who see Willie Nelson in concert for the first time. They’d never thought about going to a show, someone drags them to the show, or they get a free ticket, or something, and then they are blown away after they see him. Rachel posted this at her blog at http://rachel-edidin.livejournal.com
Last night, we went with Katie and another work friend to see Willie Nelson, with whom I had been woefully unfamiliar and who is now one of my favorite singer/hellraisers ever. He’s like everyone’s spunky grandpa. He plays with a lot of his family, and while he sang “Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” he kept grinning and shaking his head at his son. It was lovely.
