Epic smoke spot. With Willie Nelson. Chip Carter is apparently a badass. https://t.co/nKjDJBjhhI

According to GQ , Nelson has told his side of the story in his 1988 autobiography where he describes being up there “with a beer in one hand and a fat Austin Torpedo in the other,” enjoying a view you can get from nowhere else of how Washington’s principal streets fan out from the White House. In the 2015 version, he describes the incident as “a friend of mine who happened to be a White House insider” coming to his bedroom door at the end of the night and offering him a private tour, which took them to the roof. The 87-year-old told GQ, “Well, I don’t really go around bragging about that. It happened, and it’s something that I don’t deny, you know, but I don’t bring it up all the time.” As for critics of the former POTUS who didn't like Carter's relationship with musicians like Nelson, Bob Dylan, and the Allman Brothers, the former president says in the film, "I was doing what I really believed, and the response I think from the followers of those musicians was much more influential than the people who thought [of] that being inappropriate for a president."Got to write about my favorite DC story: That one time Willie Nelson and Chip Carter shared a joint...on the White House roof. https://t.co/iOPfNciovd

Carter and his wife, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter , have made massive humanitarian efforts and diplomatic work that even earned the former President a Nobel Peace Prize. The couple has spent decades building homes for Habitat for Humanity. The pair has led an annual build for Habitat, working on more than 4,000 homes for 36 years! “Sometimes, when we go into a community where we built houses maybe 35 years ago, or 25, 20 years ago, we try to visit those Habitat sites just to look at them and meet some of the longtime homeowners,” he once said, according to PEOPLE . “They’re very proud of their house. We never find any houses that we have built with graffiti on the outside walls or with broken windows or un-mowed lawns. … They set an example for everybody that lives around [them].” He continued, “It’s hard to live until you’re 95-years-old. I think the best explanation for that is to marry the best spouse: someone who will take care of you and engage and do things to challenge you and keep you alive and interested in life.” He added, “One of the things Jesus taught was: If you have any talents, try to utilize them for the benefit of others. That’s what Rosa and I have both tried to do.”Both are excellent hoomans. How awesome would it be to have a honest, chill President again?
