Wal-Mart censors Willie Nelson CD artwork
Edited on Mon Jul-11-05 06:45 PM by mr blur


Everybody knows that old Willie likes to smoke a little weed (well, quite a lot, really). So it's no surprise that his new reggae album, Countryman, should feature a pot leaf on the cover, ganja being a central part of reggae/Jamaican culture, as well as an essential supply in Willie's tour bus. Unless you buy it at Wal-Mart, that is. Wal-Mart version has a nice palm tree on. As far as I know Willie never smoked a whole palm tree, but I guess it's possible.

5. The Canadian Wal-Marts don't censor album covers.
At least, nothing that I've seen.

Nor do they carry the bowdlerized versions of CDs as they do in the states.
