INFLUENCE AND INTEGRITY

Prompted by yesterday's item, "Catching Up With Willie Nelson," a reader writes:

"It occurs to me that people, especially Toby Keith, won't fuck with Willie like they did the Dixie Chicks. His talent, eloquence and commercial power are formidable and have stood the test of time. Willie's influence within the industry is enormous. Moreover, there is a fundamental personal integrity to the man that common people recognize and respect. This combination of factors should cause his potential detractors to carefully consider their actions."

Much as I'd like to think so, I have to disagree. The Toby Keiths of the world lack many things, prudence not the least of them.
