Three men stood near the edge of a stage in Texas in July of 1974. One of them had been rejected by Nashville for sounding too much like himself. One of them had spent years making other people’s records sound larger than life. And one of them had come from England, from Traffic, from Jimi…
Willie Nelson has never spoken publicly about what happened backstage in Tulsa, Oklahoma in October 1997. The woman who was there that night asked him not to.
