  Fantastic singer, but let's face it.  He's a burned out pot-head.

Willie does pretty darned good for a "burned out pot head". How many here that are around 80 could perform 45 concerts from the first of May and the end of September? How about cutting a new album? How about holding a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do? Willie may enjoy his weed but it does not appear that it has ruined his life, no matter how hard the Texas courts have tried.

Sure enough;
  He doesn't look a day over 25..and he does have the physique of a MMA champion.
 
   Of course, in the black & white photo..when he was closer to 25 he looked much better . ;) ;D .

Come on john those mean ole Texas courts are just following those mean ole Federal laws. I enjoy wllies music as long as i dont have to watch him sing it. However willie dont much care about the courts or the laws. Willies main train wreck came from the mean ole IRS(Federal, no Texas IRS, NO Texas income tax)  but overcame that as well. Crime does pay if you are a rich celebrity.

I would like to see members here, say 70 or over post pictures of their physiques before we criticize Willies. He may look pretty good in comparison.

One of my brothers used to work for at Willie's studio, the one of the Perdenales back in the 90s with all those condos - I've been to the studio a few times - he was in pretty good shape then, as I recall. Really good shape. He's doing pretty good for a showman at 80. Anyone see Bob Dylan lately?

Sure, I'll put up a 20, provided you include a youtube vid of your best acoustic work...  then we'll see if your teetotaler ways have given you any advantage over Willie's occasional indulgence in a Texas Torpedo... ?

  You miss the point YT...The challenge was a physique photo..  Music is not my forte..which causes me to wonder if  Willie can forge a decent bowie knife or forge weld chain links, plus forge both a grab hook and slip hook..finally completeing a log chain?
  To each is own..  the challenge was a photo..and the challenge made and accepted..  come on Guzzi..
 
  To guarantee current photo, I will be holding my new Ruger American, or CVA Scout..both newly  introduced guns..or I can include a 2013 calendar or exhibit a symbol of your naming (decent) to prove current and real.  I will be 77 yrs old this summer.. so Willie and I are very close in age.
  Take the challenge  and see if clean living makes any difference..

IG, you may well be in better shape than Willie. My request was how many here could match what Willie is doing at 80. There are quite a few regular posters here that have alluded to serious heart problems and other significant health problems that would probably not allow them to keep up with Willie and they probably have not smoked as much weed as Willie but maybe that legal tobacco was the downfall for some, maybe alcohol, eating too much, who knows.

Well Willie is also good friends with Larry Flint so does that make Larry a wonderful specimen also?
IG don't bother with this, trying to compare yourself to this guy is like trying to compare Chuck
Norris or Clint Eastwood to Hugh Heffner. Sure Willie has written some good music but in his early
days he was a poster child for alcoholism and drug abuse and it always wasnt just with pot.

IG has lived his life the way he saw fit and so has Willie to compare the two in some forum based
contest is ridiculous. Personally I would like to pass on seeing a bunch of photos of the good, the bad,
and the ugly save the speedos for the beach. If we are going to do something like that why dont we
compare the livers, the lungs, and the functioning brain cells of cadavers who lived similar life styles?

That would be the real comparison in my opinion outside of any outwardly appearance. If I needed a
blood transfusion and these two were a match whose blood do you think I would want?
Whose would you want? Willies would be only worth the 20 bucks where IG's would be priceless.
With Willies I would probably wake up with the muchies and a case of the DTs. With IGs I would
probably wake up wanting to pray and give thanks for my blessings and head down to the local
VFW hall. So my money is on the real physical condition of the two over the years of how they have
lived not by some songs one of them may have written.

IG is an American icon also in the things he has done and the generation he represents. The only
difference is he didn't have the media coverage about it like Willie did so that makes him an unsung
hero. Where Willie most likely has every edition of Hustler magazine that's ever been published.
Real good comparison there guys it sure is one I want to see and enjoy.  ::)

  I have no problem with Willie himself.. in fact I sometimes enjoy one of his songs if it comes within my hearing.  I do have a problem with his promotion of bad habits..knowing some young people may be susceptable to his urgings.
  I still take your challenge as aimed at myself with only a recent retreat.  YT seems to have challenged me also..he who seemingly endorses pot smoking.  I fully understand that normally fellows in their 7th or 8th decade of life should not be deluding themselves as some sort of attractive specimen..   I will put up the $20 also, and let the posters decide.  That way, GBO gets either a $20 donation from myself or a $40 donation.. that's $20 each from you & YT..   That way, GBO can't lose..

 Anna;
  Heavens forbid..I wasn't planning a scene of speedos on the beach..even though I did do a stint as a life guard for a while!  ;) :D ;D
  I was thinking of something a bit more modest...in a T-shirt..since that is what Willie's pic is above..
   I am surprised that Willie would have anything to do with the likes of Larry F.     ...that's really scraping the bottom.

Willie has by his actions all but endorsed drug abuse and by my saying that I'm not discussing
legalization or any current efforts to do that.
Its no different than a sports icon showing up drunk on his butt in front of his young fans and
everyone thinking alcoholism is acceptable.
Or the old photos of Willie standing alongside Larry Flint with Flints now deceased girlfriend in the 
picture bombed out of her mind. Proudly displaying the copy of Hustler where Flint was in that
court battle with Falwell. In that edition Flint depicted Falwell as being the south end of a horse.
While accusing Falwell of having sex with his mother.
It doesn't matter how you feel about either side guilt by association says volumes about Mr.Nelson.
I would prefer that a man with the moral integrity of IG not be dragged into anything having to do  with this. It only looks like an attempt to cheapen the way a good man has lived his life by
comparing him to a drunk with a stash of pot and porn magazines.
Who by the way can sing. Big deal so can Cher and Barbara Streisand.

Contrasts, contrasts..  Here's my favorite singer..singing my favorite song.  Few can match the power of that voice and song, including Willie.  That's IMO of course..

  You can rest assured Wintley Phipps needs no booze or dope to bplster his stage presence..
  Note; some very well known faces sitting in the row behind him... and in the audience..

I'd definitely give IG a big edge in being more physically fit over Willy, heck, I like em both. Many years ago I remember reading about Willie and his first wife. In his younger days he got drunk and high a lot and tended to get mean. He'd come home, beat his wife then go to bed and pass out. One night after the usual he passed out on the bed. His wife sewed him up in the sheets, then got a broom and proceeded to beat the crap out of him. He never hit her again.
I'd bet on IG. POWDERMAN.  ;D ;D
 
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again. Love the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tJXjt5D4zY&feature=related

It was a joke son , besides how many pre employment drug screens have you ever done ?
If it shows up in your urine for months after smoking pot it sure does in your blood as well .
Or the soft tissues in your mouth thus a bugle swab drug test where the soft tissues of you face
are the ones that are the most blood enriched of your entire body.
And if that isn't enough for you how about a hair sample? That hangs around for months even after
a small dose. No, any amount of THC in your blood isn't going to make you stoned if your the 
recipient of a transfusion and yes I do know about these things. What is this attack Anna week ?
For one thing since AIDS blood is highly scrutinized and filtered for substances anyway, did you know that Doctor if so could you supply us with your license ?
I would love to discuss this with a colleague but if not. Weeeellll !  :o 

Typical lib so quick to jump on somebody or start a fight they have to question everything about a
person to get it started. And that's a funny thing because if a lib accuses you or eludes to it then
you may want to look into them because they are usually accusing you of things they are doing.
It's why they seem to know so much about deception and they get away with insulting you by
saying things like " I thought you knew about things like this ".
My question to you is that if you do then give me the metabolic rate formula used in determining 
the absorption of THC and its retention in the human body. Based on age, weight, and in conjunction with any other substance found in a specimen. Also Doctor tell me how we use yeast levels found
in urine to determine how much alcohol a subject may have consumed the night before.

Answer me this Professor true of false. Can substance abuse be determined by fingernail or toenail
clippings? Can DNA comparisons be determined by a simple bugle swap and if it can will that hold
up in court? Quick now you seem to know these things so well that this shouldn't cause you any time to need to think about it. Can I answer them? You bet your a$$ I can. And by the way I'm not a medical Doc are you ? I don't know if Willie has porn mags it was a joke. But if he did I bet he would
need Viagra to enjoy them. But you sure did get offensive about that do you have porn mags under
bed? If you do did you get them from Willie or do you just play with your Willie.

Ok ;
  Forget the wager..This seems to have come down to a decision between...   
  "What is better; a boozing, pot smoking life as illustrated by WN..and my Christian life style, free from alcohol, pot and drugs..?"  Willie reached 80 today, I will (Lord willing) make 77 this summer.close enough to make it fair.
 
  Now, I'll be first to admit..I have not the heavy musculature I had, say 30 years ago..nor do I have the definition I had when working high steel, building silos or when I first started blacksmithing..   Yet I think I do tolerable well when my clean lifestyle is compared to Willie's lifestyle...and it's obvious results.
 
     BTW:  I am holding my new CVA Scout rifle to show you that it is a current picture..difficult to hold the camera, rifle and take a photo at the same time.  So what's the verdict folks..clean Christian living..... or drinking hard & smoking dope?
 
  Oh.. and below, a pic of Willie too..
 
 
  Note the shirt my teenaged grandaughter gave me.. it says, "World's coolest grandpa"..

 As a human being willie is a  failure! But when it comes to musical talent I know of no one that can touch him.
   Took me a while to come to that conclusion. Back in the 1950s I said he was the worst singer I had ever heard and at that time I still think it was true. A friend of mine with more knowledge of Willie than myself said just remember I told you, he is going to be a super star, At the time I thought he was crazy!
