I saw George Jones in concert years ago.

Cledus T. Judd opened for him.

I just read that George Jones has passed away. I wasn't expecting to see this, but he was getting kind of older.

I know! Can you imagine… a wife beating country singer who was infamous for his massive self-destructive over the top alcohol and cocaine abuse which had brought him to the edges of near death and insanity numerous times (as well as a stay in a mental hospital), dying in his.... 80s???? I mean… I don’t think anyone saw that one coming!

"country" ?? What's that ?!?!

coun•try mu•sic (kuhn-tree myoo-zik) n. 1. a form of music that interests very few active members around here

We have active members ?
I thought I've been speaking to robots for the last couple of years !

Yep all five of us!

There are a few of us semi-active lurkers out there as well...

OMFG, someone call Ghostbusters !

Edit : I just wrecked my perfect 5150 posts score. Ah well, I don't really love that album anyway.

I don't like country, but George Jones was one of the greats. He hailed from a more genuine time, when country music was about our folk traditions and heritage. We used to take pride in such things. Now, the defenders of the old guard are on the way out, and country music is becoming virtually indistinguishable from pop music.

Also, I'm upset to hear that Patty Andrews passed away in January; I hadn't heard until last night. Patty was the last remaining member of the Andrews Sisters, the renowned World War II-era act that traveled across the world to entertain our troops and support the "good fight." Beyond that, they were very talented as musicians and performers. Patty was the de facto leader of the trio.
