Highs and Lows

Willie Nelson's new reggae album comes in two flavors:

The cover art of Countryman, released Tuesday, features green marijuana leaves over a red and yellow background and looks similar to a large pack of rolling papers.

However, for those looking to snap up the CD at Wal-Mart's famously rolled back prices, the cover features a palm tree in place of the offending leaves, a change made by Universal Music Group Nashville out of deference to the retailing giant's strict guidelines with regards to lyrics and packaging.

"They're covering all the bases," Nelson commented to the AP.


Laff. Something tells me that A LOT of Wal-Mart "Associates" can easily recognize the leaves of cannibis sativa and/or indica--hell, how else could they stand to work there?
