Pigtails are gone: Willie Nelson cuts hair

Wed May 26, 5:29 PM

By The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas - Country music fans have come to expect a little eccentricity from legendary crooner Willie Nelson, but he pulled off a real shocker this time.

He cut his hair.

"Oh Noooooo!," wrote one fan who saw a picture of Nelson's new do on the website of Nashville TV and radio personality Jimmy Carter.

Nelson's waist-deep, reddish pigtails have long been one of the singer-songwriter's signature features. But spokeswoman Elaine Schock said Nelson, who's been hanging loose in Hawaii, got his hair cut in the past couple of weeks. She said the Texas-born performer didn't make a big fuss about the makeover, but she thought he might have grown tired of dealing with long locks.

"There's a lot of maintenance," she said.

Recent cut (get a stylist if you're gonna go drastic, Willie!):

He did it once before in 2006 or so:

All that hair should sop up the Gulf oil spill, eh?:D:)

I hope he donated his hair to "Locks of Love". Hair or no hair, Willie is "THE MAN!!!!"

He was in Baton Rouge not long ago but I was on the boat. He can shave his head if he want to, as long as it don't effect his singing! He is one that has been around a really l-o-n-g time.. At one time, I had all his ablums. I LOVED his Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain and Angels Flying to Close to the Ground..

He looks so different, but like Laura said, who cares as long as it doesn't affect his singing. My all time favorite by him - "You Were Always On My Mind" - love that song! :love:

(lower picture of him in denim shirt)It actually makes him look 20 years younger.

Maybe he took a shower as well.

Now, now, Marigold - let's not pressure the guy. ;):D

Some people are just naturally scruffy looking. That doesn't mean that they're not clean. :(

There has been a long-standing rumour - don't know if it's been proven or not - that Willie Nelson never bathes.

Did some Googling to check this out, and didn't find much.

[Bonny]

Oh Well, as long as a person stays upwind of him. :D

I heard a rumor that pigs fly too.........LOL:eek::D



ETA: I'm glad that Wom finally went to bed. I'm sure he would find a pic of a flying pig for me. Maybe he won't notice this when he wakes up. :p

[smokey the elder]

I wouldn't bet on it.:p;)

Good thing he can sing because he sure isn't much to look at! :eek:

[Asiel]

For someone who supposedly never bathes it's funny but his hair always looked super clean to me...rumors are just that. I sort of liked the long hair but his singing is what really meant the most to me. Short or long, if he can still sing I don't care what he does with his hair.

My mum's cat shared a birthday with Willie Nelson.
