No Show Jones

Is this ground hog day?

Oh, and Alex Smith sucks

[QUOTE=gblowfish;9630765]I didn't really get into George Jones until I went to college, and had some serious see the sun come up benders after nasty fights with whatever girlfriend it was at the time.

There's a legend that he got a DUI on a riding mower once.

Not sure if that's true, but it's a great legend, anyway.

Tonight I'll have to tip some whiskey to George.




Yes it is true.

He used to be married to Tammy Wynette.

That's one hard drinking sob

One of my favorites and possibly the best country singer of all time. He'll be missed.

Me: George Jones died today.
Dad: He had to be pushing what, 90?
Me: He was 81.
Dad: Well, whenever you're my age and someone you thought was older when you were young dies, you have to figure they're ancient.

I used to love to play "Bartender's Blues" on the jukebox of the bar I worked in. This song came out in 1978, the first year I started working nights in a campus bar. James Taylor wrote this song, but Possum did it the best. Also, my two favorite George Jones pictures I've come across today. George when he was a mess, and George as a wise old man:
