..Texas has what would have been unthinkable just a few years ago: a statewide candidate for U.S. Senate who wants to reform federal law to end the prohibition on marijuana and regulate its sale like alcohol. Beto O’Rourke has pushed this ever since he served on the El Paso city council...
And what’s more Texan than Willie Nelson? (Nothing!),â€
The problem with that is that most of the people who support Beto will not even know who Willie is. He is my father's generation (LOL) and that is saying a lot. His fans want Cardi B or Post Malone. Even Eminem is too old now for the pop/rap scene.All I a can say to Willie is, I hope he is planning a short set because the Beto crowd will not know any of his songs and they aren't going to stand his nasally whining for very long. Not a good fit.
In Texas? Willie routinely does large sold-out shows. Even outside of Texas. I don't like the man personally but his music is loved by several generations.
Say versus George Strait? We can run the music industry stats if you like. If Beto the Buffoon really wanted a Texas icon he'd get a real Texan. We here in Texas can see past that bull shit.
I'm not claiming he is better or more favored. He does sell more concert tickets than George Strait. Thinking Willie is a has-been is silly.
Beto must have promised Willie a couple bales of weed.
Man owns the North American record for concert attendance at one concert. (105.000) I can fish out the Houston Livestock and Rodeo attendance data if you really want to make some comparisons. Do you want to compare album sales, No.1's , etc.?Again... comparing Willie to Strait is past silly.https://www.billboard.com/articles/6113943/george-straight-final-show-breaks-attendance-record
All of this whose Willie is bigger doesn't matter as George isn't campaigning.
What's he going to sing? When Irish Eyes are Smiling? Londonderry Air?
