Willie Nelson Whines Sings for Peace on Earth
Willie Nelson has premiered his new anti-war ballad at an Austin fund-raising concert for Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.
"(Nelson) brought down the house," said Kucinich's media coordinator Susan Mainzer of the Saturday performance. "People were on their feet applauding."
Nelson has said he wrote "What Ever Happened to Peace on Earth" on Christmas Day at the Lake Elsinore, Calif., home of his in-laws.
"There was nothing but bad news, and here it was Christmas Day," Nelson told the Austin American-Statesman last month. "I said, 'There sure are a lot of babies dying and mothers crying,' and (wife) Annie said, 'That sounds like a song.'"
The song asks questions such as, "How much oil is a human life worth?"

I'm not sure which point illustrates just how much weed this guy has smoked in his lifetime, that he thinks this war is over oil or that he's hanging out with Dennis Kucinich.Mark's Remarks
I was just going to say the same thing: is he higher on weed for getting behind a whackjob like Kucinich, or is he more weeded out for respouting the same tired arguments from the 91 Gulf War? Come on, folks, put down the bong....come out, it's 2004.....
