The greatest songwriter of all time and third best artist of all time. He's gonna outlive us all, and I hope he does.

Seems posting it the music section was more appropriate. I'm gonna post a bunch of Willie's songs that I'll probably be the only one to listen to.

I like a lot of willie's stuff and I've already heard a bunch today....

btw: calling him the "greatest songwriter & 3rd best artist of all time", is a bit of a stretch don't you think??

I mean he's damn good (a living legend) & puts on a great show, but c'mon now....

In my opinion, he is.

Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard are the only two that rank ahead of him as artists. And Kris Kristofferson is the only songwriter I would consider putting ahead of Willie.

And I'd put Willie up against anyone on the flattop guitar.
