In my eyes, he is still the big thing, and he is not jealous of anything...why would he be? Some people like contemporary country, some like traditional and people like me like both, but relate more to George, Waylon and Willie....and although Taylor and Carrie and the rest of the pop country crowd are extremely talented and I thoroughly enjoy their music, they would be nowhere without George and the rest of the traditional artists. I don't even think you can compare them to George Jones. He is and always will be one of the top artists to ever hit the airwaves...
