When I first read of the recent arrest of Randy Travis I literally paused to think how sinister I could be in my write up of the event. What occurred was Travis crashed into a guard rail. Spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, Tom Vinger, said that a car registered to Travis struck barricades in a construction zone and crashed on Tuesday night.
That's pretty awful but he was fine, so OK I can make fun of that. The smell of 'alcoholic beverage' on his breath? Yeah that's still pretty fair game to laugh about. Gets tanked hits a barricade, life goes on. Literally.
The officers found Travis behind the wheel exhibiting 'intoxicated behavior' and unclothed. OK, so now we have a naked Randy Travis drunk behind the wheel and smashing in to barricades. For about 30 seconds this was a field day for my sarcasm. I could delve in to my whole redneck Southern stereotype. Maybe throw in some trailer park jokes maybe even inbreeding. But that was only 30 seconds worth of mind fun.
This is actually one of the saddest reports I've heard in a long time. The humiliation alone must be excruciating. I don't even care for Travis' music and this is just plain horrible. I'm going to leave the jokes to the late night guys. I'm going to hope that seeing the reports on the local news will trigger Randy into getting some help (this is his second alcohol related incident this year)
He isn't that bad, the tune "Forever and Ever Amen' is actually sort of cute. I think his voice is sorta too deep but thats just one gals opinion.
Naked Drunk Randy Travis means only one thing. He needs help not judgement.
