Question: Why is Geroge Jones looked up to so much by Classic Country fans!?
He was a drunken druggie wife beater!. How could any TRUE Country fan spend money on a drunken druggie wife beater!? Maybe other drunken druggie wife beaters only do!? We sure are lucky that the fans of todays country has far better role models!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
I like very few songs of George Jones!.
It's true he used to beat Tammy Wynette up - I read her autobiography and he gave her a terrible time!. Probably why she is not here today!Www@Enter-QA@Com

George Jones is looked up to because he was and is a true Country Music artist!. When you haveone tenth of the awards and recognition he has then you are qualified to ask questions like the one you just asked!. His life has been made public because he is a celebrity and their privacy is not protected like yours is!. You seem to be focused on drunken wife beaters!. Anything you would like to share with us!?!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
By the way his name is G-E-O-R-G-E Since when we do we judge SINGERS on their personality !? In that case there would be a lot of singers( and bands ) that wouldn't be popular!. I'm sure even squeaky clean taylor has a few things in her past!. she surely is not as pure as you might think!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
apparently you are a stupid kill-joy who doesn't like anything that doesn't involve you!. Get a life!. George Jones is so far ahead of any of YOUR favorites -- T!.S and C!.U!. and R!. F!. that he doesn't even have to record anymore!. His songs will be around long after they are just bad memories!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
I don't have any respect for him for that very reason!. He really can't sing either!. Most of his music sounds whiney!. There are a couple of songs that I do like however!. Who's gonna fill their shoes and of course He stopped loving her today!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
You are so very right!. I don't think that would fly these days, but I can't help it, "He Stopped Loving Her Today" is one of the best songs ever recorded!. I'm not even a country fan, not much anyway!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I've only ever heard of George Jones, mostly because of that Gretchen Wilson song 'California Girls' where it goes "Never even heard of George Jones!.!.!.!." yeah so, I don't really know why people look up to him!.!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I honestly don't know!. I think it may have been his song-writing cuz his singing sucked!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
Because He Is Classic All The Way
Alot Better And Some Sangers Today
