WILLIE

Not that I am suprised by this, but I just found out the other day that Willie Nelson wrote "Crazy" for Patsy Cline. Good lord, what a fucking song. I naturally assume all monumental pop and country classics were written by Fred Rose or Jimmy Webb, so this comes as an embarrassing suprise.

I just keep forgetting how amazing Willie Nelson is. He is such a cool dude who still tours, and you know... I just forget how important his brain is!

New years resolution: read Willie Nelson's autobiography, look for hints on how to write a classic like this, write a classic and maybe stop experiencing perpetual existential crisis triggered by writer's block. Thanks, internet!
