Willie Nelson Discusses New Album, Politics, and More on ‘The View’
Willie Nelson has been making music for us to enjoy for over fifty years now. The music icon, who turned 85 this year, has recently come under fire from fans for throwing his support behind Democrat Beto O'Rourke. He also released a new album just this called My Way, a tribute to Frank Sinatra.
When asked about the flak he's been getting from his fans Willie replied, "Everybody has an opinion. Everybody has a right to an opinion. I think I do too."
