“Ninety-nine percent of the world’s lovers are not with their first choice. That’s what makes the jukebox play.” – Willie Nelson #BOTD

A little thread:
In 2019, I interviewed writer/director @lianlunson about her film WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE TO COME, starring Willie Nelson and Charlotte Rampling, filmed entirely on Willie Nelson's Texas ranch. Our interview here: http://www.sheilaomalley.com/?p=146217 
Some screengrabs from @lianlunson 's WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE TO COME:
One more screengrab from @lianlunson 's WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE TO COME, because I think it's so evocative of who Willie Nelson is as a cultural figure:
And finally, a couple of pics from when I saw Willie Nelson at Outlaw Fest in the dark jittery autumn of 2017. It was very emotional. It was also Hank Williams' bday and he played "Moving on Over" and "I Saw the Light". His guitar-playing is otherworldly.
Oh wait, not "finally". One more. Here is the greatest moment in Twitter history. Happy 88th, Willie Nelson!
The 2014 duet Willie Nelson did with Dolly Parton is perfection.
