The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. Born during the Great Depression, and raised by his grandparents, Nelson wrote his first song at age seven and joined his first band at ten. During high school, he toured locally with the Bohemian Polka as their lead singer and guitar player. After graduating from high school, in 1950, he joined the Air Force but was later discharged due to back problems. After his return, Nelson attended Baylor University for two years but dropped out because he was succeeding in music. During this time, he worked as a disc jockey in Texas radio stations and a singer in honky tonks. Nelson moved to Vancouver, Washington, where he wrote "Family Bible" and recorded the song "Lumberjack" in 1956. In 1958, he moved to Houston, Texas after signing a contract with D Records. He sang on a nightclub and he worked as a disk jockey. During that time, he wrote songs that would become country standards, including "Funny How Time Slips Away", "Hello Walls", "Pretty Paper", and "Crazy". In 1960 he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and later signed a publishing contract with Pamper Music which allowed him to join Ray Price's band as a bassist. In 1962, he recorded his first album, ...And Then I Wrote. Due to this success, Nelson signed in 1964 with RCA Victor and joined the Grand Ole Opry the following year. After mid-chart hits in the late 1960s and the early 1970s, Nelson retired in 1972 and moved to Austin, Texas. The rise of the popularity of hippie music in Austin motivated Nelson to return from retirement, performing frequently at the Armadillo World Headquarters.

In 2005 Nelson and his family hosted the first annual "Willie Nelson & NORML Benefit Golf Tournament", leading to a cover appearance and inside interview in the January 2008 issue of High Times magazine. After his arrest for possession in 2010, Nelson created the Tea Pot party under the motto "Tax it, regulate it and legalize it!". Nelson has been arrested several times for marijuana possession. The first occasion was in 1974, in Dallas, Texas. Twenty years later, in 1994, highway patrolmen found a marijuana cigarette in his car near Waco, Texas; the resulting court appearance caused him to cancel his appearance at the Grammy awards. While traveling to Ann W. Richards' funeral in 2006, Nelson, along with his manager and his sister, Bobbi, were arrested in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana and charged with possession of marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Nelson received six months probation. On November 26, 2010, Nelson was arrested for possession of six ounces of marijuana found in his tour bus while traveling from Los Angeles to Texas. He was released after paying bail of $2,500. Prosecutor Kit Bramblett supported not sentencing Nelson to jail due to the amount of marijuana being small, but suggested instead a $100 fine and told Nelson that he would have him sing "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" for the court. Judge Becky Dean-Walker stated that Nelson had to pay the fine but did not require him to perform the song, explaining that the prosecutor was joking. Nelson's lawyer Joe Turner reached an agreement with the prosecutor. Nelson was set to pay a $500 fine to avoid a two-year jail sentence with a 30-day review period, which in case of another incident would end the agreement. The judge later rejected the agreement, claiming that Nelson was receiving preferential treatment for his celebrity status, when the offense normally carried a one-year jail sentence.

The rise of the popularity of hippie music in Austin motivated Nelson to return from retirement, performing frequently at the Armadillo World Headquarters. In 1973, after signing with Atlantic Records, Nelson turned to outlaw country, including albums such as Shotgun Willie and Phases and Stages. In 1975, he switched to Columbia Records, where he recorded the critically acclaimed album, Red Headed Stranger. The same year, he recorded another outlaw country album, Wanted! The Outlaws, along with Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, and Tompall Glaser. During the mid-1980s, while creating hit albums like Honeysuckle Rose and recording hit songs like "On the Road Again", "To All the Girls I've Loved Before", and "Pancho & Lefty", he joined the country supergroup The Highwaymen, along with fellow singers Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. In 1990 Nelson's assets were seized by the Internal Revenue Service, which claimed that he owed US $32,000,000. It was later discovered that his accountants, Price Waterhouse, did not pay Nelson's taxes for years. The difficulty of paying his outstanding debt was aggravated by weak investments he had made during the 1980s. In 1991, Nelson released The IRS Tapes: Who'll Buy My Memories?; by 1993, the profits of the double album, destined to the IRS, and the auction of Nelson's assets cleared his debt. During the 1990s and 2000s, Nelson continued touring extensively, and released albums every year. Reviews ranged from positive to mixed. He explored genres such as reggae, blues, jazz, and folk. Nelson made his first movie appearance in the 1979 film The Electric Horseman, followed by other appearances in movies and on television. Nelson is a major liberal activist and the co-chair of the advisory board of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, which is in favor of marijuana legalization. On the environmental front, Nelson owns the bio-diesel brand Willie Nelson Biodiesel, which is made from vegetable oil. Nelson is also the honorary chairman of the Advisory Board of the Texas Music Project, the official music charity of the state of Texas.

- Not THE Willie Nelson, as he has personally clarified, Willie Nelson is a spiderlike creature, somewhat resembling an onion. He has taken up residence in the Aqua Teens' attic, although he is seldom seen. Nelson is a placid individual and is generally (though not always) courteous to others, which belies his grisly tendency to murder human beings and use them for food. In The Shaving, Willie comes down from the attic on Halloween, asking Frylock if any mail had come for him (Frylock says that mail for a Willie Nelson arrived on occasion, but not knowing of Nelson's presence he at first forwarded it back and later took to simply throwing it out). He claims to have been driven to the house by an acquaintance for "doing 30 in a 25." Master Shake finds him to be the "gayest monster since gay came to Gaytown" and endeavors to turn him into a genuinely frightening one, giving him electric chainsaws and the pseudonym "Bloodfeast Island Man," in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to scare Carl. Frylock does manage to find some mail for Nelson at takes it to the attic (followed by Shake), but is surprised to find various bodies, organs, and blood strewn about and therefore discovers Nelson's homicidal tendencies. Meatwad and Carl appear, having waited for them in an attempt to scare them; Willie nonchantly attacks Carl, exclaiming "Juice!" and ripping off his arms, then drinking his blood. Willie asks the Aqua Teens if they would also like some "juice", but they quickly go back to the main floor and board up the attic, leaving Willie and Carl inside. In Party All the Time, the aliens in Frylock's dream have Willie's body. In Robots Everywhere, Willie's bloody attic door is seen when Carl is trying to sell the Aqua Teens' former house to potential buyers. When the buyers ask about it, Carl tells them to ignore it. In Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, when the Aqua Teens' roof is destroyed by the Insanoflex, Willie can be seen coming out of the destroyed roof. In Eggball, Willie appears on Shake's pinball machine. In One Hundred, he appears as a stylized version of himself, along with other monsters from the series, to chase the Aqua Teens. Willie can also be seen briefly in the opening for Aqua Something You Know Whatever and in the end credits to Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever. The real Willie Nelson guest starred in "Baffler Meal," the episode of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast where the Aqua Teens made their first appearance. This is believed to be the reason behind the character's name. In The Last One Forever and Ever (For Real This Time) (We Fucking Mean It), Willie appears during the end credits, still living inside the Aqua Teens' house years after the deaths of Shake and Frylock, though it has since been refurbished.
