DJ Kat WQAQ98.1 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 "Things Change" by Tim McGraw I know the second verse is about Elvis and the third verse is about the songwritters of the 60's, but can any one help me out with who the first verse of this song is about? Verse: They wouldn't let him play the Opry with whiskey on his breath And it didn't take 'em long To figure out what they missed He went down that lost highway Underneath the purple sky A legend disappeared before his time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 It's probably about Hank Williams (Sr.). He got "suspended" from the Opry for being drunk all the time, and he died the next year. Johnny Cash also got banned, but that was for kicking out some stage lights...of course, he was high on pills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Kat WQAQ98.1 Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Thank you soooo much. I knkew Cash had been banned, and that had been my first thought, but it didn't seem right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
