Willie Nelson fans furious over announcement that he'll headline a rally for Beto O'Rourke.Willie Nelson fans are upset with the singer over the news that he’s not only supporting a Democratic Senate contender, but is headlining a rally in Texas for him.
Nelson, whose public political views typically lean more liberal, announced on his Facebook page that he’ll be headlining the Turn Out For Texas rally for candidate Beto O’Rourke, who is currently running against Sen. Ted Cruz. <snip> Despite clearly being in favor of the Democratic candidate, Nelson’s fans were taken aback by the news that he’s supporting a candidate whose politics they don’t agree with. “If that’s true im done after 45 years with the Red Headed Stranger ,by [sic] Willy,” one user commented on the Facebook announcement. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/09/13/willie-nelson-fans-furious-over-announcement-that-hell-headline-rally-for-democratic-candidate-beto-orourke.html I find it hard to believe that anyone who is a fan of Willie's would be surprised to find out that he supports liberal causes. He's never tried to hide his views in the past. Go Willie!

England was for white people not immigrants . In fact, his bizarre outburst was one of many rockstar actions that helped spur the Rock Against Racism movement so maybe the coworker is in to that era of his music .
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Against_Racism Clapton later apologized and said it was drugs or maybe he said it was the drinking talking...I think he is more libertarian leaning now and gave a concert to raise money for the pro hunting fox faction after it was banned in U.K. when the labor party was able to push the fox hunting ban to law He was a born again Christian also maybe still is ? I do not know but a lot of righties are into that so maybe the coworker is a rightie born again and remembers Clapton was, or is also too |

the kind of thinking that led to Brexit and he did not vote for it.
He has come off as more libertarian than RW imo, but other than mentioning Brexit he did not delve into his political opinions , he is a musician foremost. Hey Elvis Costello was one of the leads in rock against racism movement events then in later years spent a decade in shame for calling James brown and ray Charles n*##@;s !! Which he then repented many times

Willie Nelson has been a Liberal as long as I've known (of) him. I wonder if this story is COMPLETELY made up. I can't imagine ANYBODY in Texas being surprised and there being a backlash....Give me a break!
