There was never going to be a happy ending for George Jones and Tammy Wynette.
Tammy fell in love with Georges voice before she ever met the man.
And the songs reflected that.
I tell her shes twice as beautiful with her bruises.
I wanted to say how I just love her and George Jones together, Junette Young told the magazine.
But it wasnt the time or place to talk about her ex-husband.
Im here to testify that it changed one man.
It became his signature song, and Alan Jackson played it at his funeral.
At the end of this series, everything has come full circle.
George has once again graced the Opry stage, this time opening for Tammy.
But thats the business, isnt it?
George Jones and Tammy Wynette will live foreverbecauseof their sad songs and tumultuous relationship, not despite them.
One lingering question remains, however: Was it all worth it?
Another Lonely Song
I have a correction to make!
Turns out that there were two separate George Jones lawnmower incidents with two different wives hiding his car keys.
The cover features a photo of Jones with Wynettes arms wrapped around his waist.
The original pressing was limited to 500 copies, and now fetches a pretty price on Discogs.
Even when shes going incognito, Tammys hair is still perfect.
I really could have done without the cuts back to episode one!
Six episodes isnt that long of a series, you dont need to remind us of what happened!
The show didnt do it justice, honestly.
