Title: *George Jones To Celebrate 80th Birthday at Grand Ole Opry* Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on September 12, 2011, 06:32:05 PM http://www.opry.com/news/2011/08-17.html
No Show Jones! Quote Jones, who will turn 80 on Sept. 12, became a Grand Ole Opry member 55 years ago. His classics have stood the test of time, to say the least, including his first hit in 1955, “Why, Baby, Why,” “White Lightnin’,” “She Thinks I Still Care,” “The Grand Tour,” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” just to name a few. I Don't Need Your Rocking Chair - recorded by George Jones I don't need your rockin' chair Your Geritol or Medicare. I still got neon in my veins This gray hair don't mean a thing. I do my rockin' on the stage, You can't put this possum in a cage My body's old but it ain't impaired I don't need your rockin' chair I ain't ready for the junkyard yet 'Cause I still feel like a new Corvette It may take a little longer but I'll get there I don't need no rockin' chair I don't need your rockin' chair Your Geritol or Medicare. I still got neon in my veins This gray hair don't mean a thing. I do my rockin' on the stage, You can't put this possum in a cage My body's old but it ain't impaired I don't need your rockin' chair Retirement don't fit my plan You can take your seat, I'm gonna stand An Eskimo needs a frigidair But I don't need no rockin' chair I don't need your rockin' chair Your Geritol or Medicare. I still got neon in my veins This gray hair don't mean a thing. I do my rockin' on the stage, You can't put this possum in a cage My body's old but it ain't impaired I don't need your rockin' chair My body's old but it ain't impaired Yeah I don't need no rockin' chair Title: Re: *George Jones To Celebrate 80th Birthday at Grand Ole Opry* Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on September 12, 2011, 06:47:51 PM I've seen the 'Possum at the Opry before. Hard to believe he's 80. The man must have some good genes (and an ironliver).

He didn't show at the Alabama. I finally got to see him at "The President's Club", long time ago because that place has been a thrift store for many years now. Jones had just released - He Stopped Loving Her Today.
Have you heard the song Thrift Store Cowgirl by Red Meat? The song music is The Dead's 'New Speedway Boogie' with different lyrics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M_f-UAd-6U |
