One of the greats of country music, he had a personal life that can only be called “colorful”. Although train wreck could be used by the judgmental types.

It’s a miracle that he lived as long as he did, unlike so many others who died much to young. He lived a full life and provided us with a lot of great music over the years.

It’s fitting that this was one of his biggest hits.
