I understand the man a lot more after reading his memoir.
The thing I enjoyed most about this book was Willie Nelson's memories of how he wrote his songs. It's easy to see how Nelson is such a poet by hearing his thoughts in this book.
It has been interesting to read in one book the story of Willie Nelson's many ups and downs. I remember reading about Willie's IRS problems, but it was fascinating to see how the artist viewed it and how he recovered from such a staggering shock.
Overall, however, I thought it could have been edited a bit more without compromising the integrity of the story. There were times that I thought Willie rode his hobby horse too long about his pot smoking.
