Here are 5 interesting things you might not know about Willie Nelson.

He celebrates two birthdays: Due to a mix-up with the county clerk when he was born, his birth was recorded on April 30th, even though he was born just before midnight on April 29th. As a result, he sometimes celebrates both days.

He wrote "On the Road Again" on an airplane barf bag: One of his most famous songs, the iconic "On the Road Again," was conceived and written quickly on an airplane barf bag when he was asked to come up with a song for a movie.

He recorded an album to pay off a massive IRS debt. In 1990, the IRS seized his assets due to millions owed in unpaid taxes. To help settle the debt, he released a special album titled "The IRS Tapes: Who'll Buy My Memories," which was initially sold by phone orders.

He has multiple black belts in martial arts. Beyond his musical talents, Nelson is deeply involved in martial arts. He holds a second-degree black belt in Taekwondo and a fifth-degree black belt in the Korean martial art GongKwon Yusul. He even practiced on his tour bus.

He ran into a burning house to save his guitar and cannabis: When his house in Nashville caught fire in 1970, Nelson famously rushed back inside, past firefighters, to rescue his beloved guitar, Trigger, and a bag of cannabis
