Today (09/12) is George Jones' birthday

He is 72 years old, and on the road, apparently.

20 years ago if you'd wondered whether Jones or Johnny Cash would go first, the money would have been on Jones for sure.

1. yeah he was sure a drinker.

I read somewhere that it took almost 18 months for him to successfully record the spoken sentences in He Stopped Loving Her Today. This was because he was loaded all the time, and when he was loaded he could sing, but not recite the words correctly. Seems kinda crazy, I know.
