That's sad to hear. Everyone has there demon's though.

[BryanP]

If they put him under the jail will he be Deeper than the Holler?

[TMF]

Maybe he'll link up with a better class of losers while he's serving time.

[maroonandwhite]

I wanna play!:

I don't mean to be Diggin' up Bones but he did have a rough past with a lot of alcohol involved. On a serious note though that just goes to show that money doesn't buy happiness.

Some people think He Walked On Water. But On The Other Hand, he should have been arrested years ago for being in that stupid movie with Meat Loaf.

[maroonandwhite]

^^ Nice! I do like his music though.

[Jonnin]

Probably be a career booster. A little time and he can sing about it afterwards.

[BryanP]

Apparently there's a little more to it. You didn't mention the "naked" part ...

Rats. I have 4 of his gospel albums on my MP3 Player (and Charlie Daniels too).

I guess I'll have to start with Amazing Grace

Fortunately, the tune & lyrics stay the same, regardless of the (really, really) stupid stuff the artist does later.

I heard a guy on the radio say, "He was charged with assault with a friendly weapon."

OK, get drunk and get naked . . . but wrecking a 1998 Trans Am, no excuse for that.

Seriously, a bad divorce can do some awful things to a person.

I say good luck Randy and get your ducks in a row.

[Oh Shoot]

I've been as drunk as a man can get and not die of acute alcohol poisoning. Too many times to admit, matter of fact.

And though the local gendarmes did accost me and my squeeze nekkid in the back of my parents' station wagon in 1964, I ain't never drunkenly run off without my clothes on in general.

Anyone else have? What's the muddled logic therein?

Been there myself OhShoot, in my younger days.. But a man's got to be awful drunk to walk into a Tiger Mart nekkid.

Methinks John Barleycorn alone ain't enough to do it, ya gotta have some other kind of prob too.

Well, maybe the heat was getting to him. Don't know how that will hold up in court though.

[Trekbike]

What I found interesting was the clerk didn't ask him why he was naked, just " how are you going to pay for the cigs?"

[dlm37015]

he was a piece of work when he lived in cheatham co. as well nothings changed

[Guest tommy62]

I mess up everytime I hang with John Barleycorn,

Logical question, business first. Give the fellow a raise.

Like most country singers (think), he poops gold.

Sounds like he had a pretty happy time to me

Ironically 'nuff, my brother did the same stunt back around '98 or so.

After leaving The Governors, he stopped for some smokes at the gas station on the corner of Moore and Shallowford.

He took off once cops pulled in the parking lot and ditched the car near Vulcan, where he took off on foot. He was pepper sprayed and arrested in short order. Can't run fast naked and with ones balls burning from mace

Story can be verified if anyone want's to look up arrest report. Just PM me

So he left the club, stripped naked before getting in the car, or was already naked in the club, or what? No other "substances" involved?

If you're not naked when you leave the strip club, yer doin' it wrong.

Wow, our strip club laws here are really antiquated.
