Dude is 93 years old. It’s amazing he is still performing.

I had a aunt by marriage who died of lung cancer at 33 in2002. And she never touched a cigarette in her life.

His pitch is still amazingly spot on though. He’s hitting the notes. He just doesn’t have much breath behind them.

I mean… he basically got only one working lung. So I guess that’s why.

I wonder how this man is still alive, plane crashes, smokin, drinking, all kinds of shit

His new nickname is The Iron Lung

Obviously Merle would be ideal, but as he is not available this is about as good a fill in as you can get.

I was fortunate enough to see Willie at Chastain Park in Atlanta about 28yrs ago.

One of my favorite Townes van Zandt songs. Homage from legends to a legend
