Willie Nelson waited until 4/20 to release his new music video with Merle Haggard, which celebrates weed and cantankerousness the way only Willie can.

After I gave up the wacky tabacky many years ago, I told friends who would tempt me that I would resume weed smoking when I turned 70 and no longer had any responsibility.

This video, showing Willie and Merle having fun while smoking weed and recording the song reinforces my decision. I can't wait until I'm 70.

The video also demonstrates how much fun country music used to be before it got infested with songs about plastic cups and pick up trucks.
