George Jones was probably the worst. I worked a show with him once and we were standing in the wings waiting to go on. He was acting a little peculiar, so I asked, "You been drinking, George?"
"Naw," he said. "I been working on my drinking problem."
"How's that?"
By way of an answer, he reached in his coat pocket, pulled out a handful of cocaine, and buried his nose in it, snorting. Then, when he'd fixed up that side of his nose, he went after the other.
"How's that working for you?" I asked
"Pretty good," he said. "Waylon said it would help."
