A new mural in Nashville that was inspired by George Jones’ infamous lawnmower ride to the liquor store is loved by most, but not everyone. Nancy Jones, George’s widow isn’t the least bit amused about the newly painted depiction of her late husband.
Nancy Jones tells Fox 17 in Nashville, “Have you seen that thing?? It is plumb ugly! It doesn’t look anything like George. It is stupid, hideous, self-serving, NOT accurate and certainly not sanctioned by the estate or the museum.”
The new mural can be found at Colonial Liquors on Franklin Pike where Jones was once a regular customer. Nashville artist Shawn Catz and his crew based the design off an episode of the animated Mike Judge TV series Tales From the Tour Bus. The article also claims that Catz got permission from Judge, Cinemax and the George Jones Museum.
