A statue honoring WILLIE NELSON is expected to be unveiled in downtown Austin, Texas this Friday Afternoon, (4-20)--ironically also known as a counter-cultural holiday on which people celebrate the use of marijuana and an annual national day of protest for the legalization of marijuana. WILLIE is a well known advocate of legalizing marijuana and has been arrested several times for possessing it. But, the group that raised the money for the 8-foot bronze statue said the date for the unveiling was just a coincidence. Willie will be on hand when the statue is unveiled...which is to take place at approximately 4:20 pm to add to the symbolism.
