Going strong at 88 is subjective. Having seen Willie a couple times in his prime.....I will take a hard pass and remember him my way. Besides, he's been quite vocal in the political side of things and has made it clear he's a libbie. A flaming libbie.

Just in time for Medical Cannabis!

Will Willie Nelson fire up a blunt in Rankin County?

Willie Nelson couldn’t carry Charlie Pride’s jockstrap.

Breaking Benji is already sold out.

I don't care for Willie nor Mick Jagger personally. They both defy gravity with hard living that endures. But they are both fabulous musicians.

@9:36 - Not supporting liberal artists must really limit your entertainment options.

Ahh, leave him alone.

Think I'm gonna hold off and wait for Willie and Snoop to headline the opening of the M Bar Ampitheater. Hang out with Chok and the Dope Boys.

Keef Richards is the real thing baby!

I’ve seen him twice in the last 15 years, he couldn’t be less interested performing on stage. ZZ Top was a great concert.

10:51 : Not really. Music itself ...even what I write can be considered "liberal" on a certain level. WILLIE backed PROGRESSIVE terrorist groups including Kaeperidiot. Soooo there is a fine line. Willie Nelson IS a pot smoking moderate democrat but decided , for some reason, back these groups.

@10:51 - clearly you’ve never heard Kid Rock’s latest album. It’s simply a masterpiece. Who could want anything more?

1:00 : There really are plenty of choices right now. Pushing Ol Willie into retirement will be no skin off my back. He's no different than the rest of the 60's artist who once opposed what they now embrace.

I'll be there. Yes, Willie is old, but just like the Stones, I still enjoy his concerts.

10:47 Excuse me, did you say Mick Jagger is a fabulous musician? You've got to be kidding! The most overrated singer/performer/musician I can recall. Because you're old and been around 60 years does not mean you're talented...

Willie must have some taxes to be paid.

3:10 Mick Jagger doesn't even play a damn instrument. And his "voice" ...in his case, doesn't qualify. He is simply lucky...born at the perfect time. In any other era he's a drug addled street bum.

Saw tony Bennett at age 90. Put on a pretty good show. Didn't try to sing what he couldn't sing. Stayed within his range and that range was still pretty damn good.

Willie will be immortal just as a songwriter. He's a one-off as a singer, but I never get tired of the Willie Rasp. It is decorous; it matches its subject matter at a near perfect level.

Next I'm going to listen to "Pancho and Lefty," with "Seven Spanish Angels feat. Ray Charles" close behind.

3:37 : Another one I had the luck to see about 25 years ago. Saw him and hit a straight flush and 4 of a kind on back to back hands the same day on a one day stop over. Hadn't been lucky since.

Some time back paid for "good seats" to see Willie....folks from the cheap seats came and stood up front blocking the view. I complained to security. They said they were instructed by the performer not to bother any of those that moved up....he won't get my $$ again....

'Going strong'? Bullshit. The last time he was scheduled in Jackson, with Leon Russell, seven years ago, he was a no-show three times. Health reasons.

He didn't write 'Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox', but he's damned sho attempting to live it.

Kingfish: I also saw Tony Bennett at age 92 in concert and he was great. He had only one miss during the entire concert. I hope to see other great old musicians and singers before they retire or depart.

"2/14: Willie Nelson Cancels Most Indoor Concerts Indefinitely:

On Monday afternoon, the publicist for Willie Nelson clarified, “We are canceling our indoor headline shows until the COVID situation improves, as the safety of the audience and Willie and his touring personnel are of the utmost importance. When we are able, we will look to make up shows when possible.”

Willie Nelson has canceled numerous shows over the last few years due to illness and breathing problems, and has recently been performing while sitting down for the first time in his career."

So, does this surprise anyone?

He's a Dem donor, did a benefit for cop killers, and is also a tax dodger.

So, he's so burned out on dope that he has to sit to perform and scared of Covid, but he's headed to Let's Go Brandon to get some naive antivaxxer codgers to pay for his politics and tax bills, even when they are "deplorables" to him.

Laughing at them and all the way to the bank (Shhhhh, don't tell the IRS....)

Same with Aaron Neville before he passed. Took him a while to get warmed up, but once he did he hit those notes just like he always could. I was glad to see him while I could.

Aaron Neville is still alive…

Surprised at the Mick Jagger comments. Jagger and Richards produced some great and timeless songs. And, Jagger is a musician; if you would go to any Stones concerts, you would see that Jagger plays the harmonica and the guitar on several songs.

Finally, don't forget that Jagger was the producer for the "Get On Up" movie about James Brown that was filmed in Mississippi.

Just remember, "You can't always get what you want, but sometimes, you get what you need."

I’m glad all these crybabies on here won’t be there bitching between bites of nachos and oversized pretzels and slurping craft beers while I’m enjoying the show. Willie’s old, but he’s still better than many current touring artists.

10:25 : No, he's not. You really can't even understand what he's saying these days. Someone also made a really good point as well, why is he coming to such a "red" area ? He's made it clear how he feels about us. Willie is no different than Neil IMO. He can go pound sand.

Stage side seats will be over $5,000.00 a ticket! Willie better smile and point at me and the wife! We may be the only two customers in that section.

While I have no need or desire to see him (now) in concert (I gave up after multiple cancellations), I can't begrudge him, at this age, sitting to perform. So does Loretta Lynn and so did BB King the last three years of his life. So will YOU if you ever reach that age and can remember notes. And that he smokes week is his business, not mine.

I saw George Jones the last time he was in Jackson at the Dixie National and wish I had not. He had no business attempting to sing, bless his heart...and I always loved George. Still do. There comes a time.

'Willie Nelson couldn’t carry Charlie Pride’s jockstrap. February 15, 2022 at 10:20 AM'

I imagine you're the only person alive who even has that vision. Into jock-straps are ya?

He is one of the best songwriters in the world. Saw him in the 80’s with Waylon, Jesse and numerous others. He is like a wine that gets finer with age. He is NOT POLITICAL and just sings and writes about whatever is going in the world. He does not apologize for his artistry and lyrics. He is truly an artist, not into social/political movements other than how he interprets them into music.

4:09 : He decided to choose sides since 2019. Read up.
