Ron Bulman Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I know, it belongs in the water cooler. I'll move it in a day or two. Nothing is happening here so I thought I might hijack the forum. It's not political. 91 years old and all that weed still hasn't got him. Going on tour with Bob Dylan among others this summer. I wonder, has anyone ever asked Willie where he was when he heard JFK was shot? He would have been 30, his thoughts on it? Never knew he has two birthdays. It's like a 4/20 three for.

Sandy Larsen Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Willie Nelson had a ranch here in Utah when I was younger, located between my mothers hometown of Fairview and Birdseye (populations 1200 and ~50 respectively). I understand that the IRS confiscated the ranch back in the 1990 to satisfy a tax debt. It is currently for sale for $666,000 if anybody is interested.

Geez... Mick is looking haggard. Keith Richards looks indestructible. So many of these octogenarian rock 'n roll icons are going to be passing away before long-- Dylan, Mick, Paul McCartney, Ringo, et.al.-- but Keith Richards may survive the Apocalypse. Meanwhile, here's a Willie Nelson story from Colorado. I was playing golf a few years ago up at the Evergreen Municipal Golf Course, (in the foothills west of Denver) with two local Boomers who had lived in Evergreen for decades. They told me that Willie Nelson used to have a house in Evergreen, and he used to host an annual charity golf tournament on the municipal Evergreen course, with topless waitresses serving drinks at the greens. It's a golf course where tee shots often roll laterally, downhill, across some of the fairways, and you have to play through herds of elk. There's also a hole where you have to hit your tee shot 110 yards over a massive boulder without being able to see the green. (There's an arrow on the boulder with a sign that says, "Aim Here.") After you finish putting, you ring a bell by the green, so the guys behind you know they can tee off. Below: Evergreen Golf Course Edited April 30 by W.

Hmmm, Looks like old Joe has still got a few teeth left in his head. He figures maybe he can pacify those students who are trying to appeal to his humanitarian instincts. ...... ok, forget I said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He invested in a tax shelter through Price Waterhouse in 1984. In 1990 the IRS denied his 1984 $6,000,000 exemption plus penalties and interest, $16,000,000. They came after him. Took his Perdernales river home/recording studio/golf course, instruments, mementos, gold records. No one would bid on them. The studio/golf course went for $200,000 to a fan of Farm Aid who sold it back to him at cost. Worth many millions today. The Evergreen Colorado property W mentions did go for 600 K. As this article mentions Willie eventually paid off the IRS.
