For more than fifty years, he's taken the stuff of his life - the good and the bad - and made from it a body of work that has become a permanent part of our musical heritage and kept us company through the good and the bad of our own lives. Long before he became famous as a performer. Willie Nelson was known as a songwriter, keeping his young family afloat by writing songs - like "Crazy" - that other people turned into hits.
So it's fitting, and cause for celebration, that he has finally set down in his own words a book that does justice to his great gifts as a storyteller. In The Facts of Life, Willie Nelson reflects on what has mattered to him in life and what hasn't. He also tells some great dirty jokes. The result is a book as wise and hilarious as its author. It's not meant to be taken seriously as an instruction manual for living, but you could do a lot worse.
In a candid, heartwarming memoir, one of America's most beloved musicians and storytellers shares the story of his life, from his childhood in rural Texas to his rise to success in the entertainment world, as he reflects on the things that matter most to him and his observations on such topics as love, marriage, children, success, ambition, and fate. 250,000 first printing.
