Willie Nelson - 73 and SHROOM!!

Combing the Evening Standard, Barney found the following (now faithfully reproduced by the BBC:

"Musician Willie Nelson has been charged with drug possession after marijuana and magic mushrooms were allegedly found by police on his tour bus...
Police allegedly seized one-and-a-half pounds (0.7kg) of marijuana and two-tenths of a pound (91 grams) of psychedelic mushrooms."

I have to say that is good going... still on the 'shrooms at 73 years of age. A lot of the kids you see in the chart nowadays look good for a binge drink at Yates's Wine Lodge and a couple of lines of whitey but that's about it. There is something a bit more classy, a bit more Led Zeppelin III, about the mushroom nexus. I must pick up a bit more Nelson back catalogue... Johnny Cash I know inside out but Willie is still largely a mystery to me. Any of you cats out there dig the Nelson?
