"Back away from my family! Or you'll meet the same fate as my shirt sleeves!!"
Antioch is getting weird.
Codpiece? What codpiece? My zipper's got 142 teeth, and holds back a freakin' LION, bro - and right now, it ain't doin' a very good job, is it?
You get to ask yourself one question.. "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
JABBA JABBA JABBA
George Jones' funeral service will be open to the public at the Grand Old Opry House on Thursday morning at 10:00AM. I'm going to have to be a "no show" at George's funeral service so I went to www.wsmonline.com and submitted a song request for "Choices" with a note asking if the funeral service will be aired "live" on the radio and internet. While listening to wsmonline.com I just heard that the radio station is working on getting permission from the family and all the proper procedures done so the service can be heard and possibly seen. Hope a bunch of you all can make the event to celebrate George's life and all he got done here on this here earth. Peace.
Great interview:) I just saw Panda Bear on Daft Punk's Collaborator Series..I'm sooo excited to hear him on the new album:)

RIP Possum! Watch the George Jones Tribute Video @ http://countrymusicsongs.co/george-jones-d…
Added note: Article found on www.military.com ["After the first of his four marriages failed, he enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1951 and served three years. He cut his first record when he got out, an original fittingly called "No Money In The Deal". ] That's why George mentioned it was special for him to entertain the troops...he had been a soldier (or Marine rather) in the Marine Corps. As my Dad, and all former Marines will tell you, "once a Marine, always a Marine". Heck, Nancy should know that George could be buried in Arlington National Cemetery if she wanted to bury him there. If George's grave is in TN, I'm going to want to go there occasionally to leave flowers for one of the very last of the great traditional country music singers.
I only got to see George Jones performing "live" once. My family was living on Ft. Campbell, KY and the husband was deployed to a war zone. George and several other of his country music buddies came to the post to do a show for MWR (Morale Welfare and Recreation). MWR set up a big stage inside the football stadium and lots of sponsors/venders were there giving stuff away and selling beverages (to include cold beer) and food. It was a real festive event. My kids were now old enough to stay home by themselves and they didn't want to go to the show. I had dragged them from the Ft. Bragg, NC area in the summer of 1998 to check out the Nashville area to see if we wanted to eventually try to get to Ft. Campbell, KY so I could finally be around all the music. So I went to the show by myself and it was a huge stress releaser. I'll always remember George going out of his way and coming to the post to do a show. He talked about it being special for him to be there to entertain the folks at the show (active duty soldiers and family members of deployed soldiers). It is the one time I got to sing along with George Jones and for anyone that has seen him performing "live" and has been able to sing along with him, from the top stars to little ol nobodies like myself, it is something you will always be glad to say you were a part of and now I can cherish that event in my memory even more. I don't need to attend a funeral service to remember George Jones. Thank you George and I'd appreciate you saying hello to my Dad, and my Mom too, for me there in Heaven.
"Do you know who got voted off Survivor last night?"
Here is a story I wrote back in 1997 when I came to see George sing with Elvis Costello. Miss you Possum!

I don't always go honky tonk'n, but when I do, it's in honor of George Jones
I haven't stopped listening to WSM since I heard the news this morning.
Fyutch's album listening party is this saturday, 3 pm at love is earth (903 church street).
I told Peter that I enjoyed the first half of the Elvis biography very much but that I was scared to read the second half because it might be too depressing. He said he understood. But I'm sure it's just as good.
Got my confirmation. :)
I'm digging the new Malcolm Dwayne track! The guy has really stepped his bars/delivery up in a major way!!
Re: “Marilyn Manson to Play War Memorial Auditorium July 9”
Please get your facts and rumors straight. The rumor was he was on WONDER YEARS and that was Josh Saviano not Brian Warner aka Marilyn Manson.. And as for is he still a shock rocker? He's a rock musician - that's all he's ever truly set out to be.
