Nelson is America’s music hero. It’s hard to put into words what he means to singers, songwriters, musicians, and people all over the world. Through life’s ups and downs, heartbreaks and rewards, Nelson and his songs have been a dear and constant friend to all of us. He’s a trusted father figure to millions of Americans by lifting them up through Farm Aid and his annual July 4th Picnic He’s the clear inspiration for dozens of today’s biggest music stars from all genres of music.
