Was he looking John Deere Green before he passed?
RIP
Of of the best 1990s era country songs.
Will they interview Davey Allison’s widow?
Oh, no!! He was sooo good. R.I.P., Joe Diffie.
Was studying to be a Doctor and decided to be a country music star instead.
Loved Pickup Man!
Will they prop him up by the juke box?
What!? Sad. RIP Joe
Not sure I understand what they mean?
I guess they’ll be propping him up beside the jukebox now...

Yup. The 90s were the peak of country. Now you have a lot of goat ropers pretending to be country.
Probably meant to say “requests their privacy”
I never hear of Joe Diffie. I googled.
His descent into alcoholism and drugs .... that is the first thing google returns on Joe Diffie.
It reinforces my points on other threads. Bad lifestyle is an individual choice. It has consequences. The predator looks to catch the weak members of the herd first.
Back in the day, Diffie was hitting on Liz Allison, Daveys widow, about 5 minutes after Davey was buried.
I assume complications means he had something like an underlying condition. RIP
Was my kind of music back in the early to mid ‘90s (while a university student) when most of my peers were spaced out on grunge or Zeppelin or Pearl Jam or Beastie Boys. Could not stand Billy Ray and his “Achy Breaky” trash and country music would have also been a lot better had Keith Whitley not died.
Garth Brooks killed country music.
Which is ironic because his first album in 1989 was very Country.
YES!
