10 Willie Nelson Look-Alikes Spotted Last Night at the Pageant

​ Willie Nelson, by many accounts, is on several people's "people I'd like to meet/smoke pot with/sing a song with/have a whiskey with" lists. To extend their reverence from the country outlaw, many fans just plain dress like the 76-year-old songwriter.

Willie Nelson: pretty awesome.

​Last night, we searched high (ha ha) and low for the best Willie look-alikes we could find milling about the Pageant before his show here in St. Louis. Here's our full, 30-photo slideshow. And make sure you read the concert review and check out Willie's set list from Thursday night.

But, which one looks the most like Willie?
Here's a key to levels of Willie-ness: The more bottles of Old Whiskey River Bourbon awarded to the fan, the more he or she resembles the Willie.

= You really look like Willie.

​Denim jacket, gray beard, braids, bandana. A dynamite effort here.



​ A younger Willie fan. While he didn't take the time to braid his hair, he kinda resembles the singer and the flannel and the red undershirt are nice.


​ Great. Beard.


​ For facial features alone, this man deserves at least four bottles of Old Whiskey River.
 

​ Showing some red bandana solidarity.


​ More Willie solidarity evident with this woman's braids. Nice touch.
​ If Willie Nelson was a college art professor, we imagine he'd look a liiiiiittle like this.


​ Sure this guy looks nothing like Willie Nelson, but attitude counts.


​ Salt-and-pepper beard, long hair, resolute calm. Four bottles, sir.


​Cough, Cough. Five bottles of Old Whiskey River Bourbon for you.
