Watch Willie Nelson's Latest Video, 'it Gets Easier,' From 'god's Problem Child' Album

... Child." (James Minchin). Randy Lewis. Two life truisms appear to be at the heart of Willie Nelson’s forthcoming album, “God’s Problem Child”: Nobody’s getting any younger, and no one gets out of here alive. The Red Headed Stranger, like millions of music fans, became all the more acutely aware of those facts in 2016 thanks to a slew of high-profile musicians’ deaths, perhaps none affecting Nelson more than those of two longtime friends and fellow musical mavericks, Merle Haggard and Leon Russell. “It gets easier, as we get older, it gets easier to say, ‘Not today,’” Nelson sings in “It Gets Easier,” the first video from the album, which The Times is premiering. It was written by Nelson with another longtime collaborator, songwriter-producer Buddy Cannon, who has steered the proceedings on the new album. The black-and-white video opens with a shot of blades of grass gently blowing in the wind and the sun on the horizon. Nelson channels a sense of freedom that comes with advancing years and the inevitability of certain regrets as he ...

... Bryce's ideas are not new. They are of another era, disingenuous and desperate. Edward B. Soph, Denton. . offers unconvincing argument. I was touched by Bryce's concern about the "viewsheds" of rural Americans and their discomfort at having to look at "red blinking lights atop the turbines, all night, every night for the rest of their lives.". I don't mean to diminish the importance of quality-of-life issues for rural Americans, but I'm having a hard time digesting such an argument from Bryce and the Manhattan Institute. They have been consistent deniers of proven health risks from use of fossil fuels and have been on the wrong side of many discussions about environmental and health issues affecting all Americans. These positions range from denial of hard science on climate change to supporting tobacco companies in the 1990 s. Bryce detracts from his argument by suggesting some view wind as a "cure-all." Use of hyperbole and questionable ...

Editor's note: Dallas Morning News justice reporter Jennifer Emily recently posted on Facebook an unusual query from her 4-year-old daughter, Caroline: "Is Willie Nelson real?" It's an important question for all young Texans to explore in their own time, and we humbly offer this response in the style of another editorial-page classic. Yes, Caroline, there is a Willie Nelson. He exists as certainly as country music and Fourth of July picnics, neighborliness and freedom exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Boy! How boring Texas would be if there were no Willie Nelson. It would be as dreary as if there were no Waylons, or T-Bones, or Selenas, or Beyonces. There wouldn't hardly be any country music then, at least not the way he does it: no "Whiskey River," no "Blue Eyes Crying in the ...

Willie Nelson Returns, Vince Staples Tests New Music, Austin Trolls Trump & More

... SXSW set, nodding to the J. Cole -founded Interscope imprint she's signed to. While Cole deserves credit for giving Lennox some shine via his label, 30 seconds of listening to Lennox sing live is proof enough she would have pulled ahead of the pack eventually, A-list cosign or not. The 25-year-old alt R&B singer has an incredibly strong, confident vocal tone, and her onstage delivery is a degree of flawless that most singers require a dozen takes to achieve in the studio. Watch out for her. - JL. 9:30 p.m. - Possibly the night’s most hyped show was a late-announced performance from Vince Staples , a proud son of Long Beach, Calif. and one of the most promising and accomplished MCs to emerge in the past five years. The show was part of Apple Music’s SXSW series (along with the Chainsmokers Thursday and a mysterious big show slated for Friday night) and was held in a customized venue on the east side of downtown with state-of-the-art lights and sound but an unfortunately low ceiling and stage, which makes sightlines a challenge ...

Tragic Willie Nelson Fighting To Breathe

... To Breathe. Willie Nelson's future may have gone up in smoke. Posted on. Mar 13, 2017 @ 7:18 AM. FADING cowboy legend Willie Nelson is so ill, he can’t muster the breath to sing — and his desperate battle for life has forced the Red Headed Stranger singer to cancel two shows at Las Vegas’ glitzy Venetian Resort, says a source. The 83-year-old pothead has been ravaged by emphysema and pneumonia in recent years, now sources say he’s weak as a baby. “Willie’s been so frail and gaunt… a pale shadow of the man he used to be,” a source tells Radar. “He’s never fully recovered from the last time when he was deathly ill, more than a year ago. It’s now come back to hit him like a ton of bricks. PHOTOS: Flirting With Disaster! Selena’s Fling With The Weeknd Leaves Closest Friends ‘Worried’. “If he can’t get a deep breath in and his voice is a croak — there’s no way he can sing.”. The music icon’s ...
