oh no 

 

He knew went to walk away.

 

 

When I first went out drinking we used to put Coward of the County on the jukebox at end of every midweek night out and singalong very badly. His death is one of those that feels personally significant..

 

RIP Kenny

By the way, my claim to fame is having sacked Kenny Rogers!  That’s a true goddamn story
