I think I mentioned that my daughters got me back into listening to country music. This is one of them that I might have kind of skipped over, except the artist (Jelly Roll) gave a local interview and discussed why the song meant a lot to him.

It’s called “I am NOT okay, but we’ll be all right” (eventually, I guess). He thinks it’ll help folks who are struggling with whatever.

That’s a sad one (which GJ was known for!).

But for me, quintessential George is always “He Stopped Loving Her Today”.

On a lighter note, my three daughters have learned to sing the lyrics with me of David Allen Coe’s “You Never Even Called Me By My Name”, which ~ 40 years ago we used to get up on the tables at Army post dive bars and scream out at the top of our lungs.

Here’s a change of pace then from The Possum:

Thanks! That might be one I saw live in IL. Or maybe in Indiana. I went to several.

You don’t have to call me Waylon Jennings And you don’t have to call me Charlie Pride And you don’t have to call me Merle Haggard anymore Even though you’re on my fighting’ side

Leaving it you to post your picks from those three greats.

Well, my daughters asked me what those all meant and I couldn’t actually answer them. My best guess was (and please note that they are all adult children during this convo) that David’s lover was hoping for one of them (other guys) to be having sex with her, and that’s why she never called him by his name and instead called out “Waylon”, etc.

I’m still not positive that’s the reasoning in the song, but that’s my working theory.

Re picking from the three - I’m a lover, so Charlie Pride no question. But the funny thing is he was kinda banned from our house (where I was a foster kid) because my fosters had a short breakup just before they married, where the (interloper dude) serenaded my foster mom with Charlie Pride songs!

LoL, dumb shit you remember 50 years later.

Always found it odd how popular this song is.

Maybe… he didn’t like her enough to put a ring on it? :thinking:

Perhaps one of my most despised songs in existence, but today it simply feels perfect :sun_with_face: :partying_face:

Whereas this is an all-time favorite.

And this. Of course, Nina Simone is the epitome of cool.
