Willie Nelson Statue

Longtime iconic Austinite Willie Nelson may be "On the Road Again," but his bronzed likeness is casually planted in front of the Moody Theater, cradling his beat-up Martin acoustic. We all know Willie's views on legalizing marijuana, so it's only appropriate that the statue was unveiled on April 20 at 4:20pm to the delight of the Altered in Public Places crowd. It's a fitting tribute to a musician who championed Farm Aid with benefit concerts. So roll one up and lean on the crooner for a pic; he ain't goin' anywhere – he's got "Texas on [His] Mind."
