    Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash didn’t act like this. Maybe you could aspire to be more like them, and less like… you.

          That’s a rather jaundiced read, isn’t it? Johnny Cash was a drug addict because he was nearly disemboweled by his pet ostrich, and became dependent on pain pills. Willie Nelson is likely a convicted felon because he really likes dope, which has largely become societally accepted in 2023. (I won’t defend the wife beating or the tax not paying.)

          Willie Nelson:

          1960: Driving Without A License (the horror!) 1974: Marijuana Possession (not the evil devils lettuce!) 1990: Unpaid Taxes (the most villainous crime ever committed by a human being, clearly) 1994: Marijuana In His Car (again, the evil devils lettuce) 1997: Partying Too Hard In The Bahamas (ok that’s funny lol) 2006: Marijuana And Mushrooms On His Tour Bus (again…) 2011: Marijuana (lol)

          Not exactly a criminal record I’d ever get bent out of shape over, it’s just minor things, and weeds legal now anyways
