In the Willie book I read, he said he
was smoking pot and cigarettes at
that time as if they were going to quit
making it, and he very nearly drowned
while swimming when one of his
lungs developed a rupture and collapsed.
He's quite a nut case. Big time
reincarnation advocate ( or
whatever the correct term would
be ) had physical fistfights with
his first wife when they would
get drunk, hanger on with criminals,
Smoked pot at the Whitehouse as
Jimmy Carter's guest, etc.
He is a very good entertainer, I
have to give him that.
Been to see him several times
at the old Sportatorium with
Delbert Mcclinton
