David Allan Coe has died:

David Allan Coe, who wrote 'Take This Job and Shove It' and other country hits, dies at 86

 

[Driftwood]

He'll hear David Allen Coe when Jesus has his final judgment day.

I honestly sing one of his songs to myself quite regularly: The fish aren't bitin' today boys, the fish aren't bitin' today.

If you're going to be known for one thing, there are worse things than it to be rocking a microphone

Such a phenomenal, generational song. EVERYONE our age knows it and loves it. Incredibly only peaked at no. 36.

That song is perfect. A gift to the world from a man who, after its release, was internationally known.

Somebody clearly failed to stay away from him when they were contagious.

For those of us who had no idea what you guys were talking.

What are you, 96? Even grandmas at wedding receptions get turnt up by It Takes Two.

No lie, we started a sermon series today looking at how different celebrities reflect(ed) scripture, and first up was The Gospel According to Fred Rogers.

(Also, this was a rare Sunday where my daughter was with me. As soon as she opened the bulletin and saw Bob Ross’s picture, she blurted out “Wait, didn’t he have an affair?” While I sat there stammering, she pulled out her phone and quickly confirmed it. Welp.)
