George Jones died.
He did not pass away.
Anyone who has ever been emotionally moved by carefully-crafted modern
country pop music, should listen to his old-fashioned truthful albums. His songs are shot from his heart into
your ears, without dilution by producers, managers, marketeers, or public image
ego.
George Jones lived a tortured self-destructive life, but
instead of physically killing others or himself, he turned his love and pain
into intimate art that he shared courageously with anyone who would
listen. His singing style was not
manufactured to win screaming concert fans, or to sell 100 albums he
recorded.....Everything in George Jones' songs - his traumatic voice, unequaled
precise phrasing, brilliant succinct poetry lyrics - was straight from his
soul. It was not
entertainment. A life was at
stake.

My blog is for vulnerable communication from my heart, mind, and spirit, meant to touch readers who are passionate about creativity, art, life, and cultures.... Nastiness and personal attack are expressions of bitterness, not meaningful communication. The internet drowns in negativity, but not this site....Thoughtful criticism, however, is not negative, but an affirmation of ideals, hopes, and caring. Positive comments are more useful if they are not meant for my ego, but to share compassion and love....Thanks for reading, feeling, and sharing.
