Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson is one of the most prolific and beloved musicians in American history, as well as an author, poet, actor and activist. He was inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1993. He is the president of Farm Aid, which he founded in 1985, when he hosted a benefit concert with fellow musicians John Mellencamp and Neil Young to stand with farmers and rural residents during the Farm Crisis. Since then, Farm Aid has continued its mission to build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture and to fight against corporate greed.
