Here’s what the “Red Headed Stranger” is up to:
Willie joins Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg for commercial
In a newly released ad, Willie Nelson uses a BIC lighter to show it’s a commonly borrowed item, according to the brand. He goes to light a candle when he’s interrupted by a video call from Snoop Dogg. The rapper is looking for his lighter and Martha Stewart, who is looking for her candle. While Willie denies seeing their items, it becomes clear that he “borrowed” them.
