I knew Wille Nelson was endorsing Kucinich and he is now releasing a protest song.
Asked if he's concerned that the new song -- which asks such biting questions as "How much oil is one human life worth?" and "How much is a liar's word worth?" -- might cause a backlash with conservative country music fans, Nelson said, "I sure hope so. I don't care if people say, `Who the hell does he think he is?' I know who I am."Nelson plans to record the song in Nashville today and rush-release it as a single, though the song itself suggests that it won't get much airplay: "Now, you probably won't hear this on your radio/ Probably not on your local TV/ But if there's a time, and you're ever so inclined/ You can always hear it from me." The lyrics were released Tuesday by the Kucinich campaign.
Maybe my New Year's resolution should be to not allow myself to be disappointed when celebrities I like do stupid things.
