George Jones - RIP

[Ismene]

George will be missed. What a singer.

"After the booze, I didn't care no more, I went on the other stuff...the drugs...I got down to about 105lbs..."

Is this the 80 odd year old country bloke?

Hank Sr., Gram Parsons and now the last of the Kings Of Broken hearts.

Sad indeed.

Possum, No-show Jones, when he got delusional on coke and couldn't sing anymore he'd simply quack like a duck at the crowd until they took him from the stage.

Tammy Wynette took his car keys so he drove 10 miles to the off-license on his lawnmower.

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Brilliant.

Gotta country singers for the level of white trash hickdom involved. They really do live the life. Except for the godbothering they seem so fond of. Bible Belt music though innit. Also shite music. Is the one form of music I just cannot find any way in to. And frankly have no desire to due to having heard some once.

Autobiography sounds great. Lasted less than ten seconds on the randomly selected tune though

He stopped loving her today and She thinks i still care from his earlier days in the 60s and 70s are his best two. Not much else I can stomach really but he sings those two like God.

He stopped loving her today

I posted that once. Great song.

I can only hope some kid clicked on it mid-comedown.
