One College Is Teaching a Course Called ‘the Life and Music of George Jones’. How Do You Use That in the Real World?

We all love the music of George Jones.

Heck, the Possum is considered the greatest country music singer of all time. He sang what many consider the greatest country song of all time, 'He Stopped Loving Her Today'.

But teaching a college course about the life and music of George? What's that all about??

Well, according to the Associated Press:

NASHVILLE (AP) - Some students at Middle Tennessee State University might get assigned textbook readings. The students in the class "The Life and Music of George Jones" are listening intently to "He Stopped Loving Her Today." The Nashville Tennessean reports songwriter Odie Blackmon is teaching the course about Jones' life and music for the third time with the current fall semester. Yeah, but how do students use that in the real world? Several previous students now lead tours at the George Jones Museum in Nashville, and future students will help work on the marketing for a George Jones tribute album.
