    Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 30, 1933) is an American country singer-songwriter author, poet and actor. He reached his greatest fame during the outlaw country movement of the 1970s, but remains iconic, especially in American popular culture. In recent years he has continued to tour, record, and perform, and this, combined with activities in advocacy of marijuana, as well as a well-publicized 2006 arrest for marijuana possession, have made him the subject of renewed media attention.

    In 2004, Nelson and his wife Annie became partners with Bob and Kelly King in the building of two Pacific Bio-diesel plants, one in Salem, Oregon, and the other at Carl's Corner, Texas, (the Texas plant was founded by Carl Cornelius, a longtime Nelson friend). In 2005, Nelson and several other business partners formed Willie Nelson Biodiesel[8] ("Bio-Willie"), a company that is marketing bio-diesel bio-fuel to truck stops. The fuel is made from vegetable oil (mainly soybean oil), and can be burned without modification in diesel engines.[9]

    Nelson is a co-chair of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) advisory board. He has worked with NORML for years for marijuana legalization and has produced commercials for NORML that have appeared on Pot TV programs. He has also recorded a number of radio commercials for the organization. In 2005, Nelson and his family hosted the first annual "Willie Nelson & NORML Benefit Golf Tournament," which appeared on the cover of High Times magazine.

    On January 9, 2005, Nelson headlined an all-star concert at Austin Music Hall to benefit the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. Tsunami Relief Austin to Asia raised an estimated $120,000 for UNICEF and two other organizations.

    Nelson was a supporter of Kinky Friedman's campaign in the 2006 Texas gubernatorial election. In 2005, he recorded a radio advertisement asking for support to put Friedman on the ballot as an independent candidate. Friedman promised Willie a job in Austin as the head of a new Texas Energy Commission due to Nelson's support of bio-fuels. (Friedman was on the ballot but came in fourth with 12.43 percent, losing to Republican Rick Perry.

    @HellSucker45 "just like johnny cash COMMA original" translation into "simple english"; He covered this song in an original manner, just like johnny cash covered many songs in original ways.

    @tarheels342 To each his own to me Dave Matthews sounded like he was whining instead of singing. Don't get me wrong Dave Mathews has great songs but in my opinion his voice doesn't really fit this song. I greatly prefer Willie's cover but that is just my opinion. Just like I think Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" is much better than NIN's version(which is still great)

    Not a big fan of DMB, but I can see their appeal, I think this is DM's best song, a good choice for a cover. I love Willie, unfortunately nothing new is brought to the tune, but the vid is very, very cool. Hey Willie, spark up a fatty and keep on making intriguing music, you are an American treasure.

    Chroobyc, those are part of a song called ring around the rosie, which is about the black death, a disease that was in Europe long ago and killed most of the people that lived there. For more information you can google it.
