 | The Facts of Life and Other Dirty Jokes by Willie Nelson
The ageless country crooner with a bent for drink, song, storytelling, and dirty jokes is on the road again--literally--in this hodgepodge of anecdotes, photographs, lyrics, and musings composed while Nelson went on tour in his bus, Honeysuckle Rose III. Drifting through his past like a tumbleweed, Nelson offers up a cornucopia of stories that serve as a very unofficial history of country music, from his songwriting past--he wrote the Patsy Cline hit Crazy, among many others--to his romps with his buddies, many of whom are very old or long gone. AUTHOR: Willie Nelson
