Willie Nelson, 88

Music is one of those timeless experiences that no one can take away from you, especially if you are one mean machine like Willie Nelson. Various celebrities have gone on interviews to credit the patriarch as a significant influence in their careers.

Over the years, the man has gained fame on and off the stage, fathering seven kids and even writing books and engaging in activism. Don’t let his age fool you, though, as Willie still manages to shred a guitar like its cheese without batting a sweat. Unfortunately, his age and health don’t allow him to tour like he used to, but he still makes public appearances now and then.
