Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:25:00 GMT http://www.badboymowers.com/view/256 Batesville, Arkansas—(February 7, 2008)—Bad Boy Mowers has announced that their high performance zero-turn riding mowers have been cast to play a major role in Willie Nelson’s soon to be released music video, “You Don’t Think I’m Funny Any More.” This new hit from Nelson’s latest album Moment of Forever is quickly climbing the charts. The association between Nelson and Bad Boy Mowers came about quite simply—Nelson says, “When I received my first Bad Boy Mower, “I immediately fell in love with this product and wanted to meet the folks from Arkansas that make these things. You can’t believe how much fun they are to ride.” Soon after meeting them a friendship formed that led to Willie’s video idea. A music video featuring movie stars and mowers—the First Annual Bad Boy Mower Race.
