purchase [ Outlaws and Angels ]
I cannot claim to be a die -hard Willie Nelson fan - but you would have to be from another planet to not know about him. Like me, however, you may not know much about his music, except that he is generally categorized as <country> or perhaps <outlaw country>, but he has also been and done many more styles.
I would place him on a pedestal for his commitment to his music, but also for his vociferous backing of a different life-style.
And that would seem to fit the bill here: it's (in)dependence. Willie Nelson would appear to have that in spades. Beyond his more than 60 years singing songs, he has used his voice to speak his mind, and lived a life that both stands apart and stands for what he believes.
Nobody Slides, My Friend is not among his best known songs. The message is in the title and the lyrics tell how:
you can run and hide
you can scream and shout
if you're living a lie, it will eat you alive
