I probably wouldn't have read this book, but after the TV series "George and Tammy" (NOT recommended) and finding this for a dollar, I decided to give it a try. The writing by the ghost writer is fine. The story, well depends on what part. The first half of the book was pretty good, although there was a stretch where George did a lot of complaing about Tammy's book. Then came wild wild stuff that some was believable and a lot was not. At the end of the book, a chapter was added to the paperback edition, this last chapter contained mostly bitching about the state of country radio. ( ) Jones is the greatest country singer ever. However, as a man, he is a big disappointment. What a wasted life spent in a haze of alcohol and drugs – but he had an excuse – he was lonely, he felt inadequate. How many others of us are lonely and feel inadequate but we don’t destroy ourselves. I really got tired of the excuses. And I was extremely disappointed to hear he physically abused his wives. His last wife had to be a saint to put up with what she did. I think her story would be more interesting. Like others, I would prefer to forget this story and concentrate on the music instead.

From his early east Texas recordings through his marriage with Tammy Wynette to his latest acclaim as a solid citizen and "high-tech red-neck," Americans have been fascinated with Jones, never even knowing whether he's going to show up for his next concert. Now, in I Lived To Tell It All, George Jones supplies a no-holds-barred account of his excesses and ecstasies. How alcohol ruled his life and performances. How violence marred many friendships and relationships. How money was something to be made but never held on to. And, finally, how the love of a good woman can Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
