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
There are more old drunks than there are old doctors.
Willie Nelson
I am not a pig farmer. The pigs had a great time, but I didn't make any money.
Willie Nelson
The whole house came up and I came up with it... I was just praying to the Lord to take care of me.
Willie Nelson
Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time You were always on my mind
Willie Nelson
I started writing cheating songs when I was too young to have any idea what I was writing about - broken hearts and things like that. I just think it was something I already knew, something I had experienced in another lifetime.
Willie Nelson
When you hear me, you know it's me, regardless of the song.
Willie Nelson
Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.
Willie Nelson
I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times.
Willie Nelson
On the road again, goin' places that I've never been. Seein' things that I may never see again, and I can't wait to get on the road again.
Willie Nelson
If you've made your own hell, then only you have the power to escape it.
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
Every now and then I'll think of something to put back in the show. I just kind of play it off the top of my head. If I do it that way it keeps it kinda fresh.
Willie Nelson
It doesn't hurt to feel sad from time to time.
Willie Nelson
Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first choice. That's what makes the jukebox play.
Willie Nelson
I don’t believe in adhering to any rules I don’t support and I didn’t vote for. To hell with what people think. Just be who you are and you’ll be happy.
Willie Nelson
I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B.
Willie Nelson
I'm an old fashioned joint smoker ya know.
Willie Nelson
In the twilight glow I see her, blue eyes crying in the rain. As we kissed goodbye and parted, I knew we'd never meet again.
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
There are more serious problems in life than financial ones, and I’ve had a lot of those. I’ve been broke before, and will be again.
Willie Nelson
