Rather than trying to put an end to Eminem or some other rapper, politicians should think about why they're rapping. It's easier to try to censor some kid who's swearing about poverty than it is to stop the poverty.

More quotes by Willie Nelson
If a song was ever good, it's still good.
Willie Nelson
Americans don't eat horses. They are not raised as food animals and they are treated with chemicals that render them unsafe for consumption. The regulations needed to change their status to food animals would cripple every aspect of the horse industry as we know it. Plus, it would be wrong.
Willie Nelson
The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis.
Willie Nelson
When songs fall from the sky, all I can do is catch them before they hit the ground.
Willie Nelson
A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth - that’s what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.
Willie Nelson
After every tour, I think about hanging up the touring hat, and after a while of not working, I'm ready to play. I think I enjoy playing music more than I enjoy not playing music.
Willie Nelson
I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.
Willie Nelson
Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.
Willie Nelson
I learned some invaluable lessons in Nashville that apply to both farming and show business: Do not corner something you know is meaner than you keep skunks of all kinds at a distance if you forgive your enemies, it messes up their heads.
Willie Nelson
Nothing lasts forever, but old Fords and a natural stone.
Willie Nelson
Those people out there like good music. They don't stop and ask themselves, 'Is it country or rock and roll?' If they like it, they will tell you.
Willie Nelson
I'm an old fashioned joint smoker ya know.
Willie Nelson
Sadly, there are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild.
Willie Nelson
Like anything else, you can use the Internet for good or ill. You can get out of it what you want to. There's no evil about it. The way I see it, it's a liberation.
Willie Nelson
What has changed is that nothing has changed... that's what has made me more unhappy than everything else.
Willie Nelson
I've known straight and gay people all my life. I can't tell the difference... But I'd never marry a guy I didn't like.
Willie Nelson
When I see someone I think is cool, he's a pretty well-adjusted individual. He's not too affected one way or the other by what's happening, no matter what's going through his mind.
Willie Nelson
I'm drowning in whiskey river.
Willie Nelson
Heard you told him that you'd love him 'til the end of time. Now that's the same thing that you told me.
Willie Nelson
Writing books is fun because after I do a show for a couple hours, I'm in a bus for 22 hours. It's not hard for me to look out the window and tell a joke here and there.
