Happy 91st Birthday to Willie Nelson!<\/p>\n
His birthday is today… and tomorrow.<\/p>\n
That’s right, Willie’s so cool he has TWO birthdays instead of one. And now you can wow your friends with this great Willie trivia.<\/p>\n
Willie was born in Abbott, Texas on April 29th, 1933 but very late at night.<\/p>\n
“I was born before midnight on the 29th but it didn’t get registered in the county courthouse, until the next day. So, it went out officially as the 30th. So, I just do both days.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Here are five more amazing Willie stories:<\/p>\n
1. The name of his 16th album is called “Shotgun Willie”. He got that nickname because he got in a gun fight with his crazy son-in-law who was abusing his daughter.<\/p>\n
2. Willie once got high on the roof of the White House with President Carter’s son Chip.<\/p>\n
He concealed Chip’s identity in his autobiography because he didn’t want to get him in trouble. But President Carter later confirmed it.<\/p>\n
3. In 1993, Willie Nelson owed the I.R.S. 32 million bucks. After asset seizures, it was down to 16.7 million and he eventually settled for 9 million. To help pay for this, he appeared in a Taco Bell commercial and sang a song about the steak burrito supreme.<\/p>\n
4. Willie got caught cheating by his second wife Shirley after she found a bill from the maternity ward of a local hospital. The charges were for the birth of a baby girl, born to a Mrs. Connie Nelson. Connie would be his third wife.<\/p>\n
5. Tom Brady once asked Snoop Dogg what was the most stoned he’d ever been in his whole life. And without hesitation, Snoop said, “With Willie Nelson.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Happy 91st Birthday to Willie Nelson!","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":20623,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3337],"tags":[1041,3633],"class_list":["post-28111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-birthday","tag-willie-nelson"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-15 22:33:14","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/chok.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2024\/04\/happy-birthday-willie-nelson\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28111"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28113,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28111\/revisions\/28113"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
