thank you george jones!

so i know that no one else would ever get excited about this, but i'm a big huge dork and a maniacal country music fan until the day i die.

if you know me, you know that i'm constantly reading all the time, but here lately, i haven't been able to do any reading for pleasure purposes whatsoever. over the last month, i've been consumed with pouring over legal documents, crime stats, impact studies, and research journals - all very scholarly and intellectual of course, but i was due for some mind-numbing, salacious entertainment.

enter one of my new $1.50 amazon purchases -> nashville wives: country music's celebrity wives reveal the truth about their husbands and marriages. almost as profound as voltaire & neitzsche right???



ha, afraid not. the writing's pretty horrible and it's slightly depressing to read about garth & sandy brooks' picture-perfect nashville marriage. the book was published in 1998, before trisha busted up that union.

HOWEVER...

when i opened the book up to the front cover, look what i found:



that's right. i have an autographed copy signed by "the possum"! yeah! (had to include a photo of george & tammy back in their heyday...)
