I remember that. He was threatening the DJ because he thought Jennifer was married to him.

Sad to hear it.

I’ll refrain from negative comments about him until he is cold.

Average lifespan of a USA male is 78.5. Fare thee well Kenny Rogers.

Sandy Springs in Atlanta, or a separate Sandy Springs town?

Sandy Springs is a separate town due north of Atlanta city limits but in the Metro Atlanta area. There is no Sandy Springs inside Atlanta.

The population inside the Atlanta city limits is 486,290 (2017).

Atlanta's population represents the residents of the city proper, although the urban population is 4.5 million and the Atlanta metropolitan area is home to 5.6 million, making it the 9th largest in the United States. The Combined Statistical Area is even larger at 6.2 million.

When I lived in Houston during the late ‘60s, he and the First Edition had a Saturday morning show on UHF channel 16.

Some years ago, I sat next to him on a flight to Kansas City. He was a nice guy and we enjoyed a great conversation, and a few drinks. Lots of laughs. I liked his songs as well. Rest in peace.

Can’t be. There’s an Atlanta subway stop in Sandy Springs, although it’s a bit of a walk.

I’ve always found it a little strange that no one ever mentions the fact that the three rapists in the song were named “The Gatlin Boys” .

As you probably know, at the time of this song’s popularity, there was a popular Country trio called “The Gatlin Brothers”. I’ve always wondered if The Gatlin Brothers ever objected to the three rapist brothers in the song being named “Gatlin”, since the real “Gatlin Brothers” also consisted of three brothers?

It’s not important, but I’ve always found it interesting that no one ever mentions that fact.

Not only that but Larry Gatlin (of the Gatlin Brothers) actually had a girlfriend named Becky, which is also the name of the girl who got raped in the song. Yeah, I find it curious that the Gatlins never sued over that one or at least made a fuss of it.

Another piece of trivia, the Gatlin Brothers sang the national anthem at the 1989 World Series in San Francisco. Seconds after they finished, a major earthquake (the 6.9 Loma Prieta) rolled through the area.

It was probably by mutual agreement with some cash to sweeten it. You don’t release a song and a movie without a legal department doing CYA.

The most outstanding Christmas song of our new era was sung by Kenny Rogers and Winona Judd.

Rest in peace Kenny Rogers. Give our love to the great Glenn Campbell.
