1. Happy Birthday my beloved Willie

Rudy is singing this one today

[Dustlawyer]

16. Me too! A national treasure for sure!

[malaise]

18. Hey you

There's something very special about Willie.
Are you getting your emergency supplies s ready for the hurricane season?

How's life in these Covid times?

[Dustlawyer]

31. Good so far! Have not prepared yet for hurricane season.

Professionally I am working the last hurricanes and the Texas freeze cases. Repaired my house and yard from hurricanes Laura and Beta.

Quit my job last Fall to go on my own. My old boss was a malignant narcissist just like Trump. 50% pay cut despite the PPE money he got.

How are you these days?

[malaise]

32. You sure made major changes

Good for you.
I'm fine - just tired of hearing about the deaths of folks we know. Many aren't from Covid but they avoided the hospitals because of Covid. I'm just hoping that things return to normal - wanted to repair and repaint last year but was afraid to let strangers in here - already bought the paint.

19. the only singing I want to hear from rudy is about his vile boss's crimes

[malaise]

20. I'd listen to that

[Beatlelvr]

2. I don't have any of his albums

But what a loveable human being!

[malaise]

4. My favorite

[MerryHolidays]

3. I love Willie in everything he does!

But his role as Johnny Dean in "Wag the Dog" forever makes me smile...And that he and Snoop hang together is also special.

Happy birthday, dear Willie!

5. From last year

[world wide wally]

6. Finally old enough to drink!

Happy BDay, Willie

[malaise]

13. You can drink weed?

[world wide wally]

21. They actually make something now

[malaise]

22. old folks here drink herb tea - ganja, white rum and hot water

I pass

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

33. Yes Mam! For cancer & IT WORKS! I was in home hospice & NOW , well, not so much.

cuz, the cancer's gone. Now, to be fair, it's not an actual liquid; it's more a paste, like tar, (as in the type they use on old fashioned rooves), which I ingest with liquid type fluids. But HUNTEEE... it works! Anyway, happy rant off, Happy Birthday, Uncle Willie & may you have MANY MANY more...

[malaise]

34. That is fabulous

Congrats

[bluestarone]

7. Happy Birthday!

[bahboo]

8. woo-hoo...still going strong at 88....

really hope he's able to tour at least one last time. One of the shitty things about the pandemic, is that many of our great artists are getting way up there in age, and they lost a year of giving concerts. Btw, his latest (I think) album, "The Last Rose of Spring," is one of his finest. Check it out if you can...

9. ;-{)

[pidge]

10. Same age as me.

[Mickju]

11. I'm in awe of anyone who makes it that far.

I'm only 77.

[BlueIdaho]

12. Happy Birthday Willie!

Zen Master, Cosmic Cowboy, and a damn fine musician too. Nothing but the best this day and all days for Willie.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. My favorite story was when he came drunk and his wife sewed him in his bedsheets and

started beating him with a broom! OK, one of my favorites. Happy Birthday to a great musician with a big heart.

15. An American treasure

God bless him and wish him many, many more years

My favorite out of many favorites:

[KS Toronado]

17. Instead of "On the road again", he could sing "On the weed again"

[BobTheSubgenius]

23. Happy Birthday to a complete and total original!!

That old expression "they broke the mould" doesn't even apply. There was no moulds. Willie was not designed, either...completely freeform!
