The Facts of Life: and Other Dirty Jokes was a quick, pretty engaging read. The jokes in it were corny and predictably fantastic, and some of the diary-ish entries were well written. I finished it in a couple of days, but never felt that I really got into.

I've never much listened to Willie Nelson's music, so the lyrics didn't really strike any chord with me. I feel that if I had been listening to his albums I really would have enjoyed that kind of stuff. I loved his anecdotes, and I loved his jokes, the pictures were also quite nice. The book just felt a bit disjointed to me from the interspersion of lyrics throughout.

Long before there was "Manny being Manny" i.e. he thinks he's too special, there was "Willie being Willie" i.e. he kind of doesn't care how special he should be. One of America's greatest musicians and characters shows just exactly why he is so idolized and yet so personable. ( )
