On the Road Again

Willie Nelson is alright! First he endorses Dennis Kucinich for president

and now he's driving a Mercedes powered by biodiesel!


Willie came out with a song several months ago which was a big hit at Kucinich gatherings: Whatever Happened to peace on Earth?

There's so many things going on in the world
Babies dying
Mothers crying
How much oil is one human life worth
And what ever happened to peace on earth

Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

So I guess it's just
Do unto others before they do it to you
Let's just kill em' all and let God sort em' out
Is this what God wants us to do

(Repeat Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

Now you probably won't hear this on your radio
Probably not on your local TV
But if there's a time, and if you're ever so inclined
You can always hear it from me
How much is one picker's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

But don't confuse caring for weakness
You can't put that label on me
The truth is my weapon of mass protection
And I believe truth sets you free

(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

I'm afraid it got Bushwhacked and Kerry'd away, Willie.

For what it's worth, other celebrities using biodiesel include Bonnie Raitt, Woody Harrelson, Dennis Weaver, Daryl Hannah, and the Indigo Girls.
