What Willie Nelson, at 93, Still Teaches Us

I went to a Willie Nelson concert in suburban Atlanta and accidentally had an existential crisis. There was Willie, hunched over Trigger, joking about death, singing “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die,” and performing Just Breathe like a man quietly writing his own goodbye letter in real time. This episode is about outlaw country, aging without panic, cowboy philosophy, and why a 93-year-old stoner might understand America better than the rest of us.
