Willie Nelson

We know what you're thinking. "Who could possibly be older than Willie Nelson?" Actually, Roscoe Bartlett was already in grade school when Willie Nelson was born. In high school, Willie was a member of the Future Farmers of America, and he spent one year at Baylor University studying agriculture. We're not sure what crops Willie was fixin' to grow.

He gave up his dreams of farming to give country music a try, and he moved to Nashville in 1960. Since then, Willie has appeared in 25 movies, won 10 Grammy Awards, released 14 Number 1 albums, 22 Number 1 singles, had 4 wives, fathered 8 children, and paid over $16 Million in back taxes. No wonder he looks like this.
