Randy Travis crashed car, found naked, and threatened to kill state policeman

Randy Travis, country music star and small time actor was found with his car wrecked, naked, drunk, and threatened to kill a state trooper. Won't be too hard to make a country song out of that.

That's bizarre.

He always seemed like a relatively normal, respectable person...as far as celebrities go anyhow.

I know. A lot of his songs deal with religion, Jesus, and doing the right thing. Guess he needed some material for a new album.

Jokes aside, Randy Travis has been battling Lyme disease; I wonder if the recent DUIs and bizarre behavior are tied to Lyme-related cognitive impairment.

Well at least he didn't walk into a store with no clothes on to buy cigarettes...UH OH!

I didn't know that. Well, that would explain a lot.

I would say that the divorce of his almost 20 year marriage and the fact that his ex would not release herself as his manager probley played a huge role.

He thought he was at the airport getting ready for a TSA screening...

I noticed Mr Travis on TV the other day he looked as if he weighs about 110 pounds defenitely has bigger problems than one might think.

He's trying to come up with material for a new country song.

"I'm crashin my car over you"
"and stumblin around drunk and nude"
I'm threatenin "the law" and flappin my jaw"
"I'm crashin my car over you"

This type of activity is common in areas where science centers aren't availible.

It must be because he didn't go to an art museum when he was a child.

Just another repressed Christian conservative, if it wasn't a drunken rampage it would have been a picking up men in an airport restroom.

So because someone has a severe drinking problem they are automatically repressing homosexual urges? Thats quite a leap. So I guess everyone who has dependency issues food, gaming, gambling is hiding playdude under their couch. That's right Fatty Arbuckle, Mr. G says you ate that extra Big Mac cause your a GAY! I would like to think the gay community would be up in arms because it seem liberals associate anyone with a personality flaw as "hiding gayness".

Maybe the dude just has issues, btw we all do.

I wasn't implying that at all...

I was sarcastically implying that he was one or the other…

I guess SensorG is trying to be the Star56 of this thread.

I almost spit my coffee out when I read that. Thanks jr.

Ouch...that is funny though. The real difference is I don’t believe it.

I was figuring it more in line with blaming the lack of a science center or museum for his problem. We do really need a better sarcasm emote.

If my marriage of 20 years was dissolved and my ex refused to take her hands of my business (IE THE WAY I MAKE MY MONEY), I might pop a couple of fuses.

If pushed to the limit all of us might goto dark places. Christian/Muslim, Progressive/Conservative we are all people with weakness we don't know about until we are pressed to a breaking point. I've seen plenty of good people do bad things when backed into a corner.
