Willie Nelson turns 92 today.
That alone is reason enough to stop everything and pay attention.
We were set to explore early U2 next week, but Rolling with Scissors doesn’t play it safe — we call audibles when it matters. And right now, it matters. Willie’s one of the last true outlaws still standing. Still touring. Still raising hell. Still writing better songs than half the industry.
So we’re hitting pause on U2.
Episode 1297 belongs to Willie.
We’ve always made space on this show to celebrate the living — and this week, we’re cranking it to eleven. We’ll cover the outlaw years, the heartbreakers, the genre-bending records, and the collaborations that made Nashville squirm.
U2 moves to episode 1298. Don’t worry — we didn’t forget.
But this week? This week is all about the red bandana, the road-weary guitar, and the voice that never gave a damn about fitting in.
Happy birthday, Willie. You’re the real damn deal.
We’ll make sure next week’s show proves it.
