Tao of Willie

I finally finished The Tao of Willie this afternoon. I’d been working my way through it for a month or more. Sometimes I’m distracted by other things around me and don’t spend the time I should to read.
This is not a deep book. It isn’t intended to be a deep book. However, it is an interesting look into the thoughts of one of America’s icons, Willie Nelson. Whatever you think about Nelson, he’s had staying power in the music business that few others have achieved.
While reading, it felt like Nelson was sitting in the room with me, telling me stories and thoughts learned while on the road, or just living through a long life. It was fun to read text like that and is a type of literature I rarely read.
Did I learn anything about life (the universe and everything)? Nope. Nonetheless, this is a decent little book, if for no other reason than the conversational tone was entertaining.
I have that book. It is great for the reason you stated, it is a look into Willie’isms. :-) And I love Willie!
