Willie Nelson Ordered To Sing Judge’s Favorite Song To Avoid Marijuana Jail Sentence

A Texas county attorney is making Willie Nelson plead, pay a small fine, and sing “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” in the courtroom in order to avoid jail time. As a commentator on The Daily Mail said, “for everyone else, there's Mastercard.”

Weed should be legal.
And Willie isn't a trained monkey. Someone said “wrong on so many levels” but, not the “levels” many of us have in mind. You go Willie!

I hate myself for doing this, but the actual story is that the fine and costs are the standard penalty for being caught with a “personal use” amount and in fact performing the song is an additional “punishment” by what seems to be an extremely enlightened court.

Bear in mind this comes from the Daily Mail, so is almost certainly a complete fabrication.
