After Klug of course. This guy can party like a rock star! And getting into a fight in a church parking lot? Classic!

Apparently he's got quite a drinking problem.

Perhaps he simply couldn't find the right attire for his night out on the town.

I Guess being a star of magnitude is not as much fun if you arent one of the regualar guys,...naked and lying on a road way, at least once in your life...

I'm no start, but I remember one Christmas morning , waking up under a bush in Bunbury Australia, just outside of town... Best damn Memory I ever lost ...

It is a shame the guy WAS so successful in the country genre! I have always liked his music. You know what they say about being at the top. There is only one way to go once you make it to the top and that is down! The guy has a lot of folks around him that get a paycheck from him and it sounds like they are enabling his excessive alcoholism by Fixing everything for him. Unfortunately I believe this man will wind up like Michael Jackson!

Now that most have had a say. It is important to know that most that
sing Country music well, do so because they have a connection to the
reality of the lyrics, and talent. Country music is famous for its
blue collar connection to the common and casual listener of America. Listeners
that live in a real world of long hours, relationship woes and financial
brick walls around every corner. Just because a successful singer has a
worldwind career it doesn't mean that they alleviate the reality and trials
and tribulations of their past. Money does not buy happiness.
Randy was a dishwasher when he was discovered.

I would think that none of us here have not been in situations of
embarrassment and poor judgement that ended badly. Understanding and
vision would go a long way in this situation.

To be honest, I have quite a past that makes me smile and frown as I'm
sure we all do.[/b]

Klugmo...I don't know if being a good country singer means one has to have had a tumultuous or unprivileged history. By all Accounts i dont believe that Travis did that much suffering as a kid... (When you compare his life with say..the life of Hank Williams Sr.) Willie Nelson was a hard Working man, who manages to avoid tragedies. On the other hand, Johnny Cash had more monkeys on his back than a Ringling Bros Circus act passing through a Planet of the Apes movie...
I do agree about the blue collar connection and definitely agree that a whirlwind career doesn't exempt one from trials of life... But at the end of the day, I find that the legendary ones all shared the same thing... their lives as Country artists were/are not negotiable options. That said, The good ones are usually too busy to allow crisis to rule (barring the occasional naked, lying on the road trying to remember where the damn truck was... or some nasty drug addiction)

I just could never understand how people can like anything so much that they become a slave to it, especially booze and drugs.

My stomach just bled a little thinking about it.
Makes you wonder what their liver is doing..besides bubbling.

I used to like single malt scotch more than a little, but every time I drank it I would be paying later for that night's fun.

Pass. Gimme some diet coke with a slice of lemon.

THAT I am really addicted to..gotta have me some lemon in my choke-a-cola or else. lol
