Marvel Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 He was supposed to be doing a show in Chattanooga on May 1. He was called the possum because of his big grin... Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuisis Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I actually read they called him the possum because his eyes were close together and he had a pointy nose. It was in his obituary. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/27/arts/music/george-jones-country-singer-dies-at-81.html?ref=obituaries&_r=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
