Man, if anyone deserves someone playing his music & talking a little about his life, it's him. You can read the New York Times obituary, titled "his life was a country song," to get a sense of the man.
In my usual dumbass way, I'll be playing lots of his music, people covering him, songs about him, & a few collaborations. I won't do him justice because I am probably incapable of doing a real tribute. If you're a big fan, you might not want to listen - I might offend you.
But it's the only way I know how to process these things & say goodbye, & I pretend I am doing something different than the average tribute show, & it makes me happy to think so.
The show will be on today from 4 to 6 pm, on 88.1 fm WRFL in Lexington & on your computer at the WRFL website. Yeah, I'll archive it later.
George Jones. It's nice I get to live in a world that had him in it for a little while.
