Willie Nelson was one the most important American songwriters. He is well-known for the hit songs "Stardust," "Beer For My Horses," and "I've Been Loving You For a Long Time." What is Nelson's true impact? I'll be discussing the influence that Merle Haggard had on Nelson. Then I'll cover some of Nelson’s most iconic songs such as "Beer For My Horses," “Tall Lies,” and "Summertime."
Stardust
Stardust, by Willie Nelson, has received high critical acclaim. However, it may not live to the expectations. Stardust was Nelson’s first major-label recording. However, it was a commercial hit and was inducted into Grammy Hall of Fame 2015. It was also Nelson’s most personal album. Nelson had always wanted the career of an artist but was forced to become a songwriter by the Nashville music industry.
Merle Haggard
Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson shared the stage at the 2013 CMA Music Festival. They both performed songs from their duet albums, and their musical affinities were evident during the concert. The Billboard Country Albums chart ranked the album "Django and Jimmie" at number one. The album also reached the top of other charts, including those outside of the US. Jamey Jamey sang the song "It’s all Going to Pot."
Nelson's influence of Merle Haggard
Merle Haggard has a strong influence on Billy Nelson’s music. Nelson was inspired by Haggard's songs to create many of his own songs. The musician is also a frequent collaborator of fellow artists. He collaborated with Asleep at the Wheel, a band that was heavily influenced by Bob Wills. The Koch label released A tribute to Bob Wills and Texas Playboys in 1995.

How To
How to get your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in 1960 established the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The HWOF is located in Los Angeles at 6233 Hollywood Boulevard. It is composed of 2,711 stars embedded into sidewalks along Hollywood Boulevard. Each star represents an individual who contributed to popular culture, such as television, radio or theater. There are currently 1,922 active individuals on the HWOF.
To become a HWOF member, you need to submit a name to Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. They then submit your details to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Once approved, you receive a certificate of eligibility, which includes your name, date of birth, city of residence, occupation, and category. A bronze plaque with your personalization is also provided. This plaque is attached directly to the concrete base, in front of designated stars.
A current HWOF member can nominate you for a star or if you have made significant contributions in movies, television or radio. A committee reviews the nominations and determines whether they should be approved. If they do, they send a letter to the applicant's home address explaining their decision. If the person accepts, they will be sent a second letter to confirm their acceptance. The Hollywood Chamber of commerce charges $25, and then the money is sent to the Department of Cultural Affairs of the City of Los Angles.
The department issues a check payable the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which then sends the check directly to the Hollywood Walk of Fame Foundation. The foundation pays artists or organizations whose applications were accepted. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce receives half of the fee ($12.50). The other half goes to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
Once the artist receives his/her star he/she will be eligible to be inducted into the HWOF. To be eligible to list on the HWOF you will need to pay the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce all outstanding balance. The amount due will vary depending on how long ago you were nominated. For example, if you were first nominated in 1990, you would owe $15,000. You would be responsible for $10,000 if you had been nominated previously in 1980.
To remove yourself from HWOF, contact the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. They will help you pay the remaining debt. They will remove the name of your from the list.
How old do you have to be in order to receive a star on HWOF?
You must be at the least 18 year old to be nominated. To receive a star, one must be alive at that time. After receiving a star, one may still be nominated again after ten years.
What happens if I die before my star gets put up?
Family members may nominate you to be a star. If there are no known living relatives, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will place the memorial marker in front of it.
Why not use a new street, instead of staring at everyone?
The HWOF doesn't intend to be historical monument. It is meant as a memorial to all who contributed to the history of film.
What happened to the stars that got stolen? The thieves took approximately 1,200 stars. Each star weighs between 250-300 lbs, so if you add up all the weight, that comes out to about 4 tons worth of stars!
