Willie Nelson to throw September benefit concert for Beto O'Rourke's campaign
Country music legend Willie Nelson will headline a concert in Austin for U.S. Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke in late September, the latest celebrity endorsement for the Democratic El Paso congressman running against Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.
Though Nelson has played for pols before, the September 29 concert at Auditorium Shores marks the first time Nelson has performed on behalf of a political candidate, according to Rolling Stone magazine.
The rally will also feature performances by Joe Ely, Tameca Jones and Nelson’s sons Lukas and Micah.
Nelson announced the show on Wednesday along with a statement: “My wife Annie and I have met and spoken with Beto and we share his concern for the direction things are headed,” it says. “Beto embodies what is special about Texas, an energy and an integrity that is completely genuine.”

Please let this piss off Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz has very good reason to be worried. Everyone loves Beto O'Rourke! And you remember what Al Franken said about Ted Cruz: "I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz." 
Smoke one for me 
My local source was busted for theft last week. 
I hope that you have a great time at the concert and it would be nice if you're able to post an OP afterwards.
