Blue Eyes Driving in the Rain
Indy Social had the pleasure of attending a performance by the peripatetic road warrior Willie Nelson last weekend. The bio-diesel and herb-loving country singer (fresh from a pot bust in Texas) took to the stage with a giant flag from the Lone Star State - and treated a sold-out audience at the Murat Theatre to a mellow mix of his classic hits.
An enthusiastic crowd applauded his sparse pickings and ragged vocal stylings, and roared as he delivered his famous and now particularly poignant lyrics: “Almost busted in Laredo / But for reasons that I'd rather not disclose / But if you're stayin' in a motel there and leave / Just don't leave nothin' in your clothes.”
According to media reports, the blue-eyed country bard might be able to sing his way out of any jail time for this latest marijuana possession. The local prosecutor, apparently a fan, said he was willing to let Nelson off with a $100 fine -- if the cannabis-loving cowboy singer would performed "Blue Eyes Smiling in the Rain" for the Texas courtroom, this according to celebrity gossip blog TMZ.
