Bacon, eggs and less marijuana: a weed watchers diet for Willie "Even honky-tonk heroes and country legends have to watch what they put in their bodies these days. And for Austin's Willie Nelson, staying fit also means giving the lungs a breather by cutting back on those marijuana cigarettes now and then."

I certainly love Willie Nelson's music, and can listen to him sing just about anything, but I never wanted to be encouraged to consider the size of his butt.

It's news stories like this that make me nostalgic for Austin.

I wonder if Gram Parsons could have substituted bacon & eggs for smack ... alas, we'll never know now ...

some people's politics interest me more than their music (ie: Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine)

some people's figure interests me more than than their music (Dolly, Blues Traveller, Pavaratti)

but Willie's lifestyle and music make me smile equally. Go on you golfing-breakfast-eating-pot-smoking fool.
