Hank's Got the Willies.

It seems that Hank has interests other than his family, drinking beer with the guys, and propane... High among these are his old guitar, golf, and Willie Nelson.

Then his boy Bobby, who just ain't right, brutally assaulted ol' Willie on the golf course, forever ruining Hank's chance of having a proper meeting with his musical idol. Unless Bobby comes through to save the day.

May seem odd that straight-laced and uptight Hank would be such a fan of long-haired, weed-smoking Nelson... But we'll forgive a great guitar picker and cowboy song singer considerable vices. Y'know. Musicians and their muses.

'Course, these days Willie is pushing 90 and quite senile. So we don't pay his addled socio-political ramblings any mind at all. Red-Headed Stranger is no less an awesome album because of them.

From February 1997.
