Rest in peace, George Jones, one of the great voices in the history of country music.

The judges also would have accepted "The Possum ain't just playing possum."

A goddamn giant. On the Mount Rushmore of country music.

RIP.

FT, would "his heart stopped palpitating today" also be acceptable?

Revising the topic head, because I came up with a better one.
I think that you'll agree.

EDIT:
The original was...
"He Stopped Loving Her Today... because he's dead"

The new one is much better.

I might have gone with "Yabba Dabba Do The King is Gone and so is George Jones"

Big loss although its a miracle he lived as long as he did. Wish I'd gotten a chance to see him perform.

I would have also accepted "If Drinkin' Didn't Kill Him... Oh Wait, It Most Likely Did."

There was huge finale concert planned for him in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. 11.22.13 would've been the date.

81 - that's a looooong life for someone who lived like he did. He has an enormous discography and legacy that, if history is kind, should sit along with the Cash's of the world.

If you could look this cool for one fucking second of your life, you should take the deal with the devil and do it.
