He may spend a few days in the pokey, but in listening to him on the Lovin bros cover album singing "When I stop dreaming" with him and Leslie Satcher, man he ain't lost a lick in his vocals.
I guess he was more of a pop country star in the late 60's and I enjoyed him, but to hear his still strong voice 35 years later is amazing.

What is "extreme drunken driving?" Does that mean we was extremely drunk while driving or drunk while driving extremely? And if he left the scene, how do they know if he was extremely drunk? Did he have time to sober up?
Sorry, it just struck me as funny.
