WILLIE NELSON"I've played ACL more times than
anyone, I think," Nelson told us on his tour bus (which -- by the
way -- sure smelled good). But he wasn't talking about the Austin
City Limits festival. Nelson was the first musician to ever perform
on the PBS concert series of the same name, now in its 30th year.
You could say he's got the town of Austin on lockdown so it's no
wonder everyone came to see the braided legend strum away on his
acoustic to a chilled set that included tunes like "Mammas Don't
Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys," "On the Road Again" and
"Georgia On My Mind."
