Willie Nelson toll road, maybe

Lasso(bugmenot) posts on Sen. Barrientos' attempt to name an upcoming toll road in the Austin area after Willie Nelson. Some Republicans are having issues with this bill (he did support Kucinich, after all). We bet if someone threw around Jerry Jeff Walker's name, no one would have a problem with that. Well, we would. "Mr. Bojangles" isn't our favorite song in the world.

mommas don't let your sons grow up to be cowboys... at least cowboys like willie nelson. otherwise you might not get a tollroad named after you.

Would the roads then only allow vehicles using Willie's new bio "Willie Fuel"?
