Among them were songs that would become timeless classics, including “Crazy,” “Night Life,” and “Funny How Time Slips Away.” Nelson became a star performer himself in the 1970s, and he did not write as much. “I stopped churning them out because I no longer felt the need to keep writing constantly,” he said. “There is nothing that quite compares with being broke and desperate, to make a real writer keep working.” Nelson knew poverty from his earliest days.
