Bonus Episode: Country Music Artists as Dangerous and True Crimey As They Come

Hey, discos, need a little more Disgraceland in your life, just to touch to get you through. Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to Disgraceland, the after Party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode, a little thing we like to call the after party. This is the show after the show, the party after the party, the bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other. The backyard, to dig into the dirt, our mission to uncover the truth, to confront the myth, to reclaim the story. On this bonus episode, that time George Jones met Porter Wagner in the bathroom in Murdered Great art, in some amazing album cover Easter eggs, plus your voicemails, text emails, comments, dms, and as always,

a whole lot of rosie. This is the pot cast for the musically obsessed, the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. Disgrace Lands where I tell the stories they didn't want told, the kind you'll end up telling someone else. All right, disc goes, let's get into it, all right. Welcome into the after Party, everybody, I was in Boston this past weekend.

It was a fantastic time to be there. World Cup was in town at Gillette out in Foxboro, but the city was just filled with people who were there for that event, and it was this beautiful weather. People are outside rolling around. Everybody was in a good mood. It was great, had an awesome time, ran into some old friends on the street. Took my son to some great music shops, music stores, record stores, and I visited one of the last great record stores in the city, maybe in the world actually this past weekend when I was there in Boston, Looney Tunes on Harvard Ave in Allston, Massachusetts.

Looney Tunes used to be a mass ave between Harvard and Central Squares. Anyways, it's type of record store. It's dark, dingy affair. You know, you might sprain your ankle on your descent down the stairs into this place, and once you're inside, you're gonna find yourself completely overwhelmed by records, like they're just everywhere. Everywhere. That's all there is. I don't know. There might have been CDs. There was some pat The guy who owns that he had some instruments in the back that he, you know, kind of fiddles with while he's while he's there at the store. I don't know if there were cassettes, but they're just records everywhere, everywhere in super knowledgeable owner obviously, and with knowledge on

all kinds of music from all types of genres. And there's, like I said, just again, music in records, vinyl just it's it's like it's eating you. And you walk into this place and Pat the owner has knowledge that most of us don't have when it comes to music. So it's a very great, very cool experience, especially for my son. Now, when I was there, I couldn't decide even more to look, never mind what I wanted to buy, if I wanted to buy anything at all, I couldn't decide between a Porter Wagoner album nineteen sixty eight's Carrol County Accident and a very cool looking Misfits reissue seven inch. It's like a record store day thing that I'd never seen before.

I went with the Porter Wagoner album because Porter is on my mind a bunch lately. He's one of the more fascinating characters from country music history. Blonde, tall dude, blonde pompador, just striking image. He wore these like Ryanstone nudy suits, tremendous singer, massive star, one of those celebrities who stardom and fame has eroded over over time, and we just don't understand how big and popular and famous this guy was. And that happens to a number of celebrities over time. Anyways, Porter Wagoner is the villain in the Dolly Parton's story, the story that we just put together for you guys. It's coming out soon in a couple of weeks. Porter introduced Dolly Parton to the world on his TV show back in the nineteen sixties, and

you're gonna hear again. You can hear all about that in the Dolly Parton episode that we got coming your way. But Porter Wagoner shows up in the George Jones story as well. Not in our episode with George that we just released this week, but in the bathroom with George back in the early nineteen seventies at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville during a live televised broadcast of The Grand Old Aubrey Now. Porter was in the restroom relieving himself between televised segments. George Jones followed him into the restroom, snuck up behind Porter George came up behind again, this just dashing, tall, blonde Ryan Stone clad Porter Wagoner and George Jones is drunk high on diet pills, and he comes up behind Porter Wagoner, who again is standing at

the urinal, and George very aggressively grabs Porter by his junk, squeezes and twists. Porter howls and pain in. George Jones howls right back with those golden pipes and he shouts, I want to see what Tammy's so proud of. George Jones was referring to his wife, Tammy Wynette, and to the affair that he believed that Tammy Wynette was having with Porter Wagoner. Porter Wagoner was rumored to be very well endowed. There was a lot of stories about Porter Wagoner in Nashville when it came to women, but there was no affair according to the research I've done. I don't know, maybe there was, who knows, but it looks like there actually was no affair here. It was just George's jealousy getting the best of him, but there was.

Porter Wagoner now covered his nuty suit, covered as pants anyways, covered in urine. He's going to go on television in a couple of minutes here, so he misses the next segment and Ernest Tubb has to sit in for him. I'm not sure how George Jones spent the rest of his night. This is a story that was that George tells in his book. He's talked about it in interviews in the past. I can't believe some of these interviews with George Jones. They're completely unhinged. They would never happen today.

These interviews that he did later in life in the nineteen nineties, they would never happen today, and they're just out there now. If you look at George Jones again, the subject of our episode this week, that story I just told you about Porter Wagoner and George Jones is not intereps. So that's what I wanted to give it to you here. But if you look at George Jones, he's a very clean cut looking dude, even in the later years. I mean, his hair is a little bit longer by country standards, for sure, but it's still this sort of like hard shell pompadour. And back in the early days when he was more of a rockabilly guy.

For a brief minute there it was like a wasn't even a pompa door. It's like a crew cut, like a high and tight crew cut. When you look at the image, you know, you listen to George Jones's pristine voice, you look at the images of him, there's little in common with that image, between the image and the behavior, the crazed behavior. It's the same for most country artists.

Most appear to be clean cut and conservative, at least by rock and roll and punk rock and heavy metal standards, the rock and roll and punk and heavy metal standards of my youth anyway. But beneath the clean cut image, country artists were, as we now know, as wild and transgressive as the punks, the metal heads, and the rock and rollers. And I have to have met, and I have to admit this is what attracted me to country music in when I was a kid, not a kid when I was I don't know, eh, nineteen twenty twenty one, In that I can't remember when I first took a real interest in country music, but it was early adulthood, and it was because of this reason. It was because learning that Hank Williams, the guy who sang my Bucket's

Got a Hole in It, the song that I'd heard as a kid that I thought was beyond dumb, that dude was a raving lunatic hold On who he was committed to an asylum before drinking himself to death in the backseat of a Cadillac. You know, I learned that. I learned that Johnny Cash, the old looking dude who hung out with Willie Nelson, the other old looking dude, that Johnny Cash got blitz on pills one day and set fire to a national park, and it was an accident that wiped out nearly an entire population of an endangered species. It was the stories about country music. It was the stories that got me the music. It was the stories that first interested me. The story about the Spade Cooley murder string being Merle Haggard in prison, shotgun,

Willie Nelson, Farren Young Graham, Parson, Steve Earle. It made the music that much more interesting to me. There was contrast tension between the image of these artists and their behavior. You know, how could dudes who sounded so straight live so dangerous, so crooked? And you know, I was onto country music, classic country music, I should say, at a fairly early age, to the great annoyance of my hardcore bandmates and friends. But I didn't care, and soon it wasn't just about the artists making the music and their crimes.

It was about the crimes inside, the stories that these artists were telling in the songs that they were singing. The murder of the Knoxville Girl, the hanging from the long black veil, the redheaded stranger night the lights went out in Georgia, Johnny Cash and his cocaine blues, George Jones still doing time in the fatal crash affair and cover up at the center of Porter Wagoner's Carroll County accident.

A great fucking song. By the way, this song is this It's a true crime podcast series in and of itself, the Carroll County accident, which leads me to the hear and now, okay up to this weekend where you know, I'm purchasing that Porter Wagoner album in Looney Tunes in Boston. It's all crime in music. It's always been crime in music.

Crime in music is the most interesting combination, and you probably get more of it in country music than you do in punk, in rock or in metal. And from an extremely authentic point of view as well. When George Jones wrote about stabbing and killing a friend in Life to Go. It's believable when you hear it. When Porter Wagoner sings about the affair in the Carroll County Accident or in any number of songs on his excellent album Cold Heart Facts of Life, you believe them because Porter Wagoner kind of looks like a dude who knows a thing or two about an affair or two. That violence, that infidelity. It's spilled out into real life in the bathroom in the Ryman Auditorium back in the early seventies

there with these two guys, and it's one of the many stories just like it from country music's wild history. And it's a history that we've barely scratched the surface of here in Disgraceland incredibly. I mean, we've got episodes on Johnny Paycheck and Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard and now George Jones. But there's so much more to tell. Anyways, check out the George Jones episode Brace Yourselves for the Dolly Parton episode that's coming. It's gonna be a doozy, all right, Dolly Parton, Isn't isn't coming up for a couple weeks in the meantime, you got George Jones in your feed, Like I said, then in the rewind slot. Coming up right after this here after party is our episode on Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Hudson's story,

the tragedy there, the triple homicide that and of itself could have been a country song, just brutal, brutal. Anyways, that's going to be in your feed right after this after Party, and then next week our brand spanking new episode on Sonic Youth, on Kim and Thurston, on one of the coolest bands of all time, and on the true crime at the center of one of the coolest album covers of all time, Sonic Youse Goo. That's right, you know the cover. It's the one with that illustration of the couple with the woman smoking the rimmon pedobone illustration the two the pair. They look like a couple of kids who could be on a hanging out with Velvet Underground or something. Who was that couple in the illustration?

That's what I wanted to know on that album cover on Goo and what was up with that incredible quote next to their image? I stole my sister's boyfriend. It was all whirlwind, heat and flash. Within a week, we killed my parents and hit the road. What the hell was that all about? Well, it's about one of the most gruesome and unjust true crimes in history, and one that features a real rock and roll hero. We're gonna tell you that story and the story of Sonic Youth and try to really drill down into what made Kim Gordon so damn cool. You'll get that, like I said, next week, and when you're listening to this episode, which is like I said, very much about the cover of Goo, be thinking about what's the coolest album cover that you've

ever seen? Does it get cooler than Goo? Okay? What album just held you transfixed? What album just captured your imagination arrested you? Just you're sitting there, You're I don't know, you're fifteen years old, sixteen years old. You're in your bedroom. You know, you're just you got your stereo there. It's one of those solid state one pieces with the record player and the CD player and the double cassette player and the receiver all in one. It's like the small little black box connects right to the speakers, and you got this album in your hand, and you just can't stop looking at it, you can't stop listening to it.

All right, what is that album? What's the coolest album cover that you can think of? Let us know, all right, that's gonna be the question of the week next week. Six one seven nine oh six, six six three eight. Give me a call, let me know your answer. You can leave me a voicemail, you can send me a text again at six one seven nine oh six six six three eight. You might hear your answer on next week's after party. Before that, though, in this episode, we're gonna get you all primed up for the Sonic Youth Goose story that we've got coming your way. Next week, Zeth and I are gonna be talking about hidden Easter eggs on album covers, Beastie Boys, Grateful Dead, Iron Maiden, Harry Nilson, and more that's coming up in the exclusive

section of this after party. Go to disgracelandpod dot com sign up to become a Disgracelant All Access member and unlock exclusive content like this plus ad free listening. All right, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll get back in just a moment with your voicemails, text emails and more. All right, guys, I am back. It's super early. You could probably tell from the sound of my voice. This coffee you ain't doing what it's supposed to be doing. Man, I don't know what's up. You're ever going to make a coffee in the morning, put the beans in, get it all ready to grind. You drink your coffee. You drink your second coffee, your third coffee, fourth coffee. Suddenly it's lunchtime and you're starving, and you eat, and then

you know it's one o'clock, two o'clock, whatever it is after that, and you're just exhausted and you have a blazing headache, and you're like, what the hell is going on? And you realize you haven't had any caffeine that day, even though you've had like three cups of corn. But you are an idiot if you're like me. And you went and you ground up decaf coffee beans and you've been drinking decalf all morning, and now you're exhausted and you got a headache and you're in a bad mood.

Can't tell you how many times I've done that. Not the sharpest tool in the shed. Sometimes it's early morning you're fumbling about trying to get it going. Anyways, I got the high test stuff this morning, but I'm just I had some intense, quick travel, quick turn around to Boston and back this weekend. A little little dragon coffee will do its thing, though, I'm confident. Anyways, I'm in the phone booth. It's the one across the hall, hanging on the telephone with you. Guys. You know where I'm at.

Last week's question of the week, we're talking about which singer just arrested you just stops you in your tracks, just grabs you by the neck and makes you listen. The sound of their voice is just so compelling. George Jones does that to me? This one from I hope I'm saying this correctly. Betto and where are you? You're in the two one three?

Hey Jake, this is Betto from La responding to your question about what singers stopped me in my tracks. I have to say Marisa Franklin, Donnie Hathaway and internationally and Salis Kita. That's what's up.

That is what's up. Thank you, Betto. I was I'm going to talk about Donny Hathaway here in particular because it most directly addresses the part of this question that I can't quite articulate the right way, which is just that thing you know, you know, when you hear you're just arrested. I said that before. You just hear the voice and it just stops you. It literally happened to me with Donny Hathaway the other day. I was getting my haircut. I was in the barber's chair, and you know, Juan at El said, he's you know, he's doing his thing and we're talking and and it's just Donny Hathaways sing and jealous guy, and it was just one of those things I just I just had to be like, hold up, listen to that. God, this guy can sing

just fucking incredible. It was the live version from seventy two Donnie Hathaway's live album, and I got to admit, for a guy whose voice I find to be completely compelling, I do not listen to Donnie Hathaway enough. I just forget. I just forget so better. I'm gonna take your voicemail as a reminder, Thank you, buddy. I'm gonna be pumping out the Donnie Hathaway today. All right, let's check out the three six so chee chi.

Wow, this podcast is amazing. I have learned so many things in the last week. I'm calling to answer your question of the week quotes that one person with the voice that just takes me there and for me, it's got to be Mego Case. We're going to present I Feel the Void every time. She really likes loose and I actually wanted to answer an old question who is not punk but is punk? And for me that is the band The Knife. If you haven't highly recommend, just just giveralism. It's pretty cool.

Okay, thanks, I love you.

Oh wow, okay three six so oh yes, Nico Case one thousand percent deep red Bells, fantastic, just everything's kind of fantastic. And speaking of murder ballads and the whole kind of like creepy country thing, She's a great modern version of that. Not a psychopath like George Jones, so and someone I have a ton of respect for. Great artist and yes, great singer. Who'd you mentioned the Knife?

It's funny you mentioned the Knife. I was just thinking of the Knife. I heard some song on some dumb TV show and I was like, this song sucks, but it reminds me of something good. What is it that it's reminded and it was heartbeats by by the Knifehere we talking about the same artists here, I think we are.

I think we are. Anyways, I appreciate you three six to soho, thanks for calling. Call back anytime six one seven nine oh six six six three eight. You guys want to hit me up, that's how to do it, voicemail and text. Let's do some texts here. Let's go to the three one seven here. Hey, this is Flow from the three one seven. You said to your son's a huge Killers fan, seeing as we spent adequate time discussing great covers, and as I mentioned, I'm a massive Marssi fan. Here you go, can't have the Killers without Morrissey And Flow sends in the Killers version of why don't you find out for yourself the Morrissey song? You know, I don't think about this song that much, and it's I don't think about the correlation between The Killers and

marsseye and I should. It's an obvious one, and uh, it just doesn't. I don't know, it doesn't register for me. You know, I was talking to the Killers the other day with my wife talking. I said, talking to the Killers. Talking about The Killers with my wife the other day. And the Killers are interesting because their first album, in our opinion, is their best. Not that their other albums aren't really good, they are second one in particular. But which artists legit like their first not not albums where they come out and their first album is great and then they just kind of fade away. That happens a lot, but they come out with their first album is just the best. It's the best. You can't fuck with it.

It's it's like kind of like the Strokes, like they never really they made great albums afterward. For sure, they're still making great music, but that first album is the best album. And this isn't a thing where I'm like, oh, yeah, have you heard their early shit. That's not what I'm doing here at all. I just legitimately think that when it comes to the Killers and when it comes to the Strokes, that their first albums are the best. And that's a good question. Which other artists, you know, first album was their best? I don't know. Made me think of you guys. I was like, oh, that's a question of the week. Hubba from the three one four right said, Hey, end of the world mixed Tall Dark Stranger by Buck Owens.

Is that a Harlin Howard song? Two of five Metallica Queens Wright, January fourteenth, nineteen eighty nine, BJCC Arena, Birmingham, Alabama. I was in a massive people waiting to enter, and for some reason they were late opening the arena entrances and the section we were waiting in had walls that funneled people towards the set of doors, and the crowds started getting frustrated, and people at the door started chanting angrily. One, two, three, four, opened up the fucking door of five, six, seven eight, opened up the fucking gate. A couple of employees almost opened the doors, and the peoples at the back started pressing forward, crushing us all together against the arena. None of the groans of pain of people yelling did anything

to back off. We were crushed that way for more than ten minutes before the venue finally opened. A few of the doors spaced apart, and I was crushed by the surgeon crowd into one of the closed doors next to an open one. My buddy was at the edge of the open door. We had to work together to drag my body to the open door. Oh damn, this sounds freaking harrowing and fall into the doorway, finally escaping the press of the crowd. I hadn't thought about that part of that night for years, but all the pain and sounds came back while hearing the story of those poor Liverpool fans rushing forward Patrick at the two oh five, Patrick, thank you for your text. That sounds horrifying. Patrick, guys is referencing the Hillsborough disaster episode that we did in

Because we're here in World Cup week, World Cup weeks months? How long is the World Cup? It's like three weeks, right, something like that sounds scary as hell? Three h two right, saying Hey, very excited to inform you that I just turned on a new listener. As I was walking my dog in the park and wearing my Disgraceland T shirt, a guy came up and commented on it. Turns out he's a rock fan and I was able to recommend to your podcast. As he was walking away, he took out his phone to look it up on Spotify, and as I was passing and again, he told me he was starting with the Anthony Bourdain episode. So I just want to say hi there, friend, friend, in Delaware who just got turned on to Disgraceland. I hope you're really

enjoying it. I am three to zero two. Thank you. I appreciate that. Very cool of you to be extending the sort of Disgraceland community here. Love that eight six so rights in. Hey, Jake, it's trip from the eight six to oh. I sent a text about a month ago concerning the upcoming Jim Morrison Doors episode. But I had surgery two days before, so I don't know how can so I don't know how coherent it was. I commented on Robbie from the Doors this recent book and why, in my opinion, it was the best Doors book. Robbie separated the myth from the band and from Jim in general in a way that hasn't been done before. He talked about Jim possibly dying from heroin and explains about his own smack addiction in the nineteen eighties. Anyway, looking

forward to the Doors episode, Peace from the Northeast eight six oh. Appreciate you, man. Yeah, I don't spoil it here, but I will tell you that Robbie's some of Robbie's information from that book makes it into the episode and makes the argument that I'm making that much more compelling. I'll say that. Okay, six one seven nine oh six six six three. You guys want to hit me up talk about anything, voicemail and text, that's how you do it.

Can also email me Disgrace lamppod at gmail dot com. We're gonna do that on the other side of this break. Talk to you in a second. All right, guys, we are back. Disgrace lamppod at gmail dot com. I appreciate the thoughtful emails. I appreciate talking to you guys, connecting with you guys every week. This one comes from Rob McDonald, subject Hillsborough message. Hey, Jake, just wanted to say congratulations on your episode covering the Hillsborough disaster. It's a difficult subject matter and you handled it with real care, clarity and respect. As a Liverpool fan, I really appreciate the tone and the way you gave space to both the human impact and the wider context. A great song about the wider issue is Billy Bragg's Scousers. Never by the

Sun is a skouser or schoozer. I always pronounce it incorrectly. I apologize it means a Liverpool thing, right, Yeah, however, happy I made you with the Hillsboro episode. I'm upsetting you now, Rob, I am sure of it, and I apologize. Anyways, Rob was on to say, hey, he released it after the phone hacking scandal investigations into NewsCorp in twenty eleven of protest against the broader issues around tabloid media. Thanks again for your thoughtful episode. You got it, Rob, Thank you for the email. Appreciate you. I don't know this Billy Bragg song. Billy Bragg a lot like what I was saying with Donnie Hathaway, someone who I absolutely love and somebody who I just do not listen to enough.

I never think to listen to him. I wish I had a little mental note in my head that I could just you know, I open up the Spotify app or whatever, I go to my my shelves to pull a record, and what do I want to listen to? And you know, we're all the same, we all end up going back to the same shit. I got Billy Bragg albums in my collection, Donnie Hathaway, and I just don't listen to him enough, and I need to, and I appreciate the recommendation. Rob, Thank you very much. Disgrace Lampod at gmail dot com. You guys want to send me an email about anything recommendations. You want to hear recommendations from me, music recommendations, you can get that in the Hollywood Land feed over in the Rap Party episodes

that Zeth does. I'm in there every week giving you music recommendations alongside Zeth's movie recommendations. See how that works at Disgrace Lampot. On the socials, you want to hit me up on Instagram, Facebook, even X once in a while. Once in a while I'll open the X app. I'm making a habit of it because I'd like my sanity.

I could say the same about all the platforms. Oh, it's a love hate relationship. No, it's not love, and I don't like to hate anything, but you know it's tough anyways. In response to our Marilyn Manson episode e dot showsted on Disgrace Centrites, Hey, I saw Marilyn Manson at a Dave and Busters a few years ago. That's why I wanted to read this. Just the idea of Marilyn Manson at a Dave and Busters is hysterical to me.

And he looked like he was over his own gimmick twenty five years ago to be in your mid fifties, but role playing nineteen ninety nine forever too much even for him, Which brings me to this thing. I've been thinking about how some artists just get they get stuck in that caricature of themselves that they created years ago.

I was watching this last Minelli documentary over the weekend, and it is she talked about it, where she was the Sequin girl. She had to be that girl whenever she was out in public, even socially with people who were not just extremely close with her, but even like acquaintances. That's who she had to be. And you know, I think she transcended that in a lot of ways. But it must suck for people. Well, actually I don't give a shit about Marilyn Man, said Brian Warner, but you know what I'm saying, Like, it just must suck as an artist to be stuck in that thing forever. And I think certain artists find ways to transcend it and move beyond it and to grow and to not get stuck.

And I don't know, I don't know the trick. I don't know what the trick is. I don't know how they do it. I haven't really thought about it enough, but it's interesting and I know it's applicable to some of the stories we're telling here, so I'll probably get into this concept a little bit more. More artists spotted out in the public. In response to our Jim Sullivan disappearance story that we had on Instagram, Jay underscore Shnobi writes, Hey, just seeing him yesterday at Walgreens. That's interesting, man. I go to Walgreens all the time. I've never seen missing folk artists roaming the aisles, but I'll take your word for it. Mark Burnwer was sent to a message on Instagram about Tommy James, about how he's an underrated singer,

how the Sean Dell's were an underrated band. And you know, Mark is not wrong about either of those things. And if you want to hear exactly what I'm talking about. Plus the mafia connection to Tommy James, which is the Tommy James mob story, might be the greatest mob story in music history. And that is saying something because it has nothing to do with Frank Sinatra, it has nothing to do with a bunch of the other sort of cliche mob music industry stories that you've heard it's its own thing. The fact that this is not a Martin Scorsese movie is it's shocking to me. Actually, it's incredible, and I love the episode that we put together on Tommy James. It's one of my favorites. Check that out.

Melissa gay Hayden writes in Hey Jake, I've been wanting to share this with you for some time, and I have no excuse because no one is busier than you. That's not true anyway. This profile belongs to Andy Speer, and Melissa sends this Instagram profile on Andrew Spear. She says, I didn't know him well, but we did graduate high school together, and as you could see, Andy is an extremely talented artist specializing in murals, but he's also a music head and has done work for several hard rock locations.

And I got to say Andy's stuff is pretty great. Check out Spear Life Andrew Spear via Melissa gay Hayden on Instagram. You won't be disappointed. Benjamin Nelson writes in Hey, big fan of the show, have you ever considered doing an episode on Fishbone? That's been crazy shit going on, cults, kidnappings and the like. Stay cool, that's Ben Nelson seventy two on Instagram. I have considered a Fishbone episode. I've seen Fishbone a couple times back in the day. I love Truth and Soul that album. It's incredible and I really regret not buying the vinyl version of it when I was what record store was at. I was in the West Village about three years ago, and it wasn't even that expensive. It was maybe I don't know, it

wasn't cheap, but it wasn't that expensive. I just didn't want to carry back on the plane and I regret it. I should have done it. I should have done it. Yeah, we're going to do an episode on Fishbone at some point. Too crazy of a story, not too at disgracelam Pod on the socials.
