Willie Nelson has been talking about his new anti-war ballad 'What Ever Happened to Peace on Earth' and the risk he will piss off country music's more right-wing fans. When asked parts of the country community would object to his new song by the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman newspaper Nelson said: "I sure hope so. I don't care if people say, 'Who the hell does he think he is?' I know who I am."
Among the song's lyrics are the lines: "How much oil is one human life worth?" and "How much is a liar's word worth?"

"What Ever Happened..." is just more proof that Willie is one of the greatest singer-songwriter ever.

Willie can't annoy country music fans. He has reached a place in his career that he can say and sing about whatever he wants and really not face any backlash.
