And then there was Willie Nelson -- whose CPAs said, "You've got a major tax problem here, you need a tax shelter".

Willie said, "Okay, I don't know nothing about taxes and if you say I need a shelter, let's get one."

Not long after, Willie was in bankruptcy, owed the IRS everything he could possibly earn, and all his wealthy friends bought his stuff at the bankruptcy auction and gave it back to him. And he cut a deal with IRS that he would make ONE MORE RECORD if they would accept the proceeds as payment in full. Otherwise, he was through recording and they'd never get it. They took it the deal, he made the record, and told people, "I don't care if you buy it or not. It ain't that good."

Willie outsmarted them. He's been producing top selling records ever since.
