I spent this past New Year's in Las Veagas with my girlfriend in the "Sun Coast", a new casino owned by the Barbary Coast. We finished gambling all of savings on the strip, and were now waiting outside of the Barbary for the free shuttle back to our casino.
In the corner of my eye I see a grungy old man walking towards us. He looked like a transient, wearing long grey hair in two pony tails and worn out cloths. I soon became irritated, worrying about this bum pestering my girlfriend. As he approached I moved closer to my girlfriend, preparing to yell at the man or even shove him if I had too. Just to scare him off, not meaning to hurt him.
Just before he approached, some young man ran up to him a greeted him with lots of compliments, telling him how much of an influence he made in his life. As the old man walked by me, my girlfriend and I paused; it was.....
WILLIE NELSON!
Didn't talk to him, but he seemed like a great guy. If I had cold-clocked him I never would have forgiven myself.
