Willie Nelson is Selling His Own Brand of Legal Marijuana
WILLIE NELSON made it official yesterday . . . he’s getting into the marijuana business. He’s launching his own brand of legal weed called Willie’s Reserve, and it sounds like it’s going to be quality stuff.
He says, quote, “I will make sure it’s good or it won’t be on sale.” He also promises to “work with the best growers in Colorado and Washington.” He’s not just doing this to make a buck. He wants to “lend support” to the legalization movement.
At this point, Willie’s Reserve will only be sold in Colorado and the state of Washington, which is where recreational marijuana is legal.
In honor of the launch, he released a video of a new song with MERLE HAGGARD called “It’s All Going To Pot“. It’s the first single from their collaboration album “Django and Jimmie”, which is due out June 2nd.
Luke Bryan Believes It’s an Artist’s Duty to Sign Autographs and Pose for Photos
LUKE BRYAN believes artists should never hesitate to sign autographs and pose for photos. He says, quote, “That’s just how it ought to be, in my opinion.”
In fact, when a fan asks if they can take a pic with him he tells them, quote, “You better! When else? When are you gonna be right here, when is it gonna go down like this? You better get it while you can.”
Speaking of Luke: He admits it was tougher than usual hosting Sunday’s ACMs because of the sheer massiveness of AT&T Stadium.
He said, quote, “The crowd noise was so loud we couldn’t hear anything that was going on. I looked at BLAKE[SHELTON] and said, ‘We’re going to yell so loud that I’m not even sure we’re going to be able to sing.'”
