I haven’t been this anxious since the AIDS epidemic. If this is what life in a tyranny feels like I hope the rest of America is as pained by it as I am and will vote on November 6 to put an end to it.

It’s a great song. I can’t believe he’s still out there at 85.

Reblogged this on Writing and Music and commented:
I hate to admit that I have not voted in an election in over nine years. I swore I wouldn’t ever again, because I feel that we are only led to believe we have a voice. But, after this post and Willie’s song, I will be at the polls in November!

A true pioneer, Rob. I like what you did with her image.
Cool to see Willie! I love how his guitar is all smudged — shows it’s well loved and often played.
Hugs.

Hi Robert,
Believe it or not, I’m originally from Texas. Willie has been a hero of mine for years. This video as great as it is, it pains me because it shows Willie is showing his age (85). You’ve got to love the song “Vote em out”.

Yes, he is beginning to show his age, but it takes stamina to perform so he’s doing pretty good. 🙂
