According to Boxcar Willie's official site, the song "Boxcar Willie" was inspired by someone who looked like Willie Wilson, a boom operator for the railroad, and not Willie Nelson as stated in the article. Whether this is a spin meant to isolate Boxcar's fame from Nelson's is beyond my research capabilities. -Misha.grey@gmail.com 22:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TV commerical
Some mention should be made about the late night commericals for his album that made him a household name in the late 70's or early 80's. RoyBatty42 09:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
