Willie Nelson may sing for community service
Country music legend Willie Nelson is having a bit of legal trouble in the form of a misdemeanor drugs possession charge, but it looks lie he may sing his way out of jail time with an in-court performance.
Apparently the prosecutor in the case is a Willie Nelson fan himself, and has agreed to reduce the sentence he’s seeking for Nelson to a $100 fine rather than 180 days in jail. Â The catch? Â Nelson has to sing “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” during the court proceedings. Â No word yet as to whether the judge overseeing the case will allow such a deal to take place, but it would be awesome if it worked out that way.

Whether he sings for his freedom or not, Willie Nelson has started a country wide movement to legalize marijuana. Teapot Party branches have popped up in ALL 50 states now. Check out my artist’s blog and the poster I made of Uncle Willie! http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/01/vote-teapot-2011.html
