Willie Nelson Cuts Off Trademark Hair!

AUSTIN, Texas — Country music fans must be scratching their heads this morning as this shocking photo of Willie Nelson with newly shorn hair has surfaced.

One fan even wrote on Willie's official web page, “Summmmmmmm bitch!  Y'all look like Jimmy Buffett now, 'cept with talent.”

Why would the eccentric legendary singer suddenly lose his trademark pigtails after all of these years?

One of Willie’s pals offered this, “I know what y'all are thinking.  They claim that human hair can absorb the oil in the Gulf and Willie's got enough even in his shower drain to do the job, but that ain't what he was thinking.  Everybody knows how much Willie likes to smoke pot, right?  Well, between his previous financial snafus with the IRS and the tightened border security in Texas, Mary Jane’s become much more elusive to Willie in recent years.  He said he thought he might have read an article somewhere that said that THC can build up in the hair, so obviously, this must be his solution to his pot shortage.”
