"I'd never marry a guy I didn't like," Willie Nelson told me Wednesday night in an interview at ACL Live for Texas Monthly.
At TexasMonthl.com, you'll find the interview and a series of photos featuring Nelson with a series of signs created by the Austin-based design agency Helms Workshop and printed by Austin's East End Ink. The first is a straightforward reproduction of the pink equal sign—the logo of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender advocacy group the Human Rights Campaign—that has gone viral on Facebook and Twitter over the past few days. Helms also designed two Willie-specific variations on the image, one with his trademark braids and another with a pair of marijuana cigarettes. Both images are available for download at TexasMonthly.com to use as avatars on your Facebook or Twitter account.
