When country music legend Willie Nelson set out to make a video for his song, "You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore," premiering this Saturday on MTV, he invited some of his celebrity friends, including Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson, Jessica Simpson, and even veteran anchor Dan Rather to appear alongside him.
He did not however, invite Alvin Drew.
For that matter, when NASA astronaut Alvin Drew visited Austin last November, his plan was to go running with a friend. That he ended the day not only on the set of, but appearing in Nelson's music video came as unexpected.
