Willie Nelson, at the age of 92 stopped smoking pot. In an interview with “Forbes”, he was asked how he stays young out there on the road. And he said, “[I] can’t smoke anymore. My lungs have already said, ‘Don’t do that’ . . . So, I don’t really do anything now except a few edibles.” Keep in mind, he does still have a line of THC-infused spirits called “Willie’s Remedy” . . . So maybe he’s just sipping slow on his own stuff. (You can get a bottle of his social tonic for $90, here.) When asked what makes him happy, Willie said, “I enjoy seeing people get together and forget about everything except music. I think there’s a great positive exchange that takes place. We don’t care what political affiliation you’re with, what color you are, it doesn’t matter. If you like music, come on.”
Post Malone and Jelly Roll are in the middle of their Big [Butt] Stadium Tour. And Post just met someone on tour that is VERY special: Jelly Roll’s mom. Her name is Donna DeFord, and she was very excited to meet Post. And mostly hoping that he would sign her CD. And Jelly was like, “That’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard. Yes, Post will sign your CD. For sure.” Post then came out, and they shared a big hug. And he, of course, signed her CD. Donna even brought her own felt pen for the occasion.
A bride and groom from Ohio are going viral because they skipped out on their own reception early, so they could make a Megan Moroney concert. Turns out the bride is a huge fan. The highlight of the night was when Megan sang “Girl in the Mirror” and everyone in the audience pulled out their phone and lit up the arena with their flashlights. The bride and groom then danced in a walkway in front of all the lights. I’d say that’s a pretty memorable first dance.
