Willie Nelson

Did you know... ... that today is Willie Nelson's Birthday? Born April 30, 1933, in Abbott, Texas, Willie Hugh Nelson -- an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist -- was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Happy birthday, Willie!
