Way to go Willie!! I bet that felt incredible, liberating, and cool to cut off your trademark pig tails! I loved ’em, but I didn’t have to wear them. Maybe you can start growing them back, but I subscribe to the WWWD What Would Willie Do mantra, so do what you do.
Willie is most deserving to have a high profile street in Austin named in his honor. And always better now than later. Although Austin was a few weeks shy of being the first in the area to honor him. The cross streets of both Willie Way and On The Road Again appeared at the new Backyard in Bee Caves.
At least there is not a Willie Toll Road as proposed a few years ago. Willie declined and saying that “I’d rather have an electric chair named after me”
I and others that I have spoken with think Congress Avenue renamed to Willie Nelson Boulevard would have been more appropriate, than Second Street. Since Second Street is the avenue more closely related to our city governance.
