Married at 16 instead of 13?? YOU LIE, MRS. LYNN!!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Country music legend Loretta Lynn is three years older than she has led people to believe, an age change that undermines the story she told of being married at 13 in "Coal Miner's Daughter," documents obtained by The Associated Press show.

Lynn's birth certificate on file at the state Office of Vital Statistics in Frankfort, Ky., shows that Loretta Webb was born on April 14, 1932, in Johnson County, Kentucky. That makes her 80 years old, not 77. Also on file is her marriage license and two affidavits from her mother, Clara Marie Ramey, and S.W. Ward Jr., who was not related to the family, listing the same birthdate.

The records weren't filed until 1965, which meant that Lynn needed multiple documents to prove her age at that time. Lynn's signature appears on the document as Loretta Webb Lynn.

"Loretta, there's something I've got to tell ya. I really don't know how to say this, but ...

... It is true. They're not wrong. You're 80 years old.

I'm sorry Loretta. I'm really, really sorry."



(One of the best country songs of all-time, by the way)

Looks like Dark Shadows meets the Werewolf.

That's my man Conway Twitty.

Renamed himself after Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas.

His new name was then adapated for the character of Conrad Birdie in "Bye Bye Birdie."

Wrote his biggest-ever hit record in Hamilton, Ontario (cue Huggy).

And I love his guest appearances on "Family Guy." :D
 
And Lord he loves those ladies wearing ... tight fittin' jeans!
