Willie wrote his anti war song "What Ever Happened to Peace on Earth" on Christmas Day.
"There was nothing but bad news, and here it was Christmas Day," Willie commented.
"I said, 'There sure are a lot of babies dying and mothers crying,' and (wife) Annie said,
'That sounds like a song.'"
Willie wrote the song in protest of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
They asked Willie if he was worried about backlash from some conservative country music fans,
and Willie said, "I sure hope so. I don't care if people say, 'Who the hell does he think he is?'
I know who I am."
