Blackfish strikes again!

So have you watched the incredible documentary Blackfish yet? If you haven't, what are you waiting for?

While many documentaries will touch your feelers while you're watching them, Blackfish seems to have brought about an actual change in how people view killer whales in captivity, and that includes celebrities.

Barenaked Ladies recently canceled a performance at SeaWorld due to their feelings after watching the documentary, and now Willie Nelson has done the same.

Willie Nelson really has worked with everyone. Listen to him duet with Sinead O’Connor

I think we can officially say that Willie Nelson has worked with absolutely everyone in his long career.

A while back I came across a blurb somewhere that mentioned that Willie Nelson had once recorded a song with Sinead O'Connor.
