Drinking / Sort of News "Drunk and naked Christian music star Randy Travis threatens cop's life"
Posted by Megan Seling on Wed, Aug 8, 2012 at 1:04 PM
Grammy-winning Christian music superstar Randy Travis was arrested just before midnight on Tuesday in north Texas after being found him drunk and naked near his wrecked truck some 60 miles north of Dallas.
Though he was detained initially in Grayson County on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, a class B misdemeanor, Travis made the situation worse by reportedly threatening to murder a state trooper at the scene, incurring a third-degree felony charge of retaliation that typically carries up to 10 years in prison.

Oh hell yeah! Get it all out, Randy. Stop with all that Christian bullshit and make some fucking naked, drunk, cop-killing country music.

I don't think I've ever actually listened to his music, but for some reason I remember him guest starring on a couple episodes of Matlock.

This is simply a publicity stunt for his upcoming covers album, including "Jailhouse Rock", "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Dead, Drunk, And Naked".

Is "Christian" music star a recent thing? Because I only remember him as mainline country. Of course, to me "recent" means after the late '80s-early 90's.

I love Randy Travis, but his Christ-ier stuff has always been unbearably schlocky (see: "Three Wooden Crosses").
It's sad when the confusion and repression that lead to public displays of Christianity explode into public displays of drunken, naked crime.

What's that strumming I hear? Oh, it's Mojo Nixon trying out chord structures for his next song. Thanks, Randy, for being Mojo's inspiration.

@5: Sad maybe; a little comical certainly; and utterly predictable -- what Freud called the return of the repressed. These self-righteously pious types eventually learn that what they hate in themselves will eventually ooze out of the closet.
