Chapter 3: What pivotal moment changed George Jones's trajectory in music?
It didn't hurt that he played a mean guitar and wrote killer songs like George and Tammy's number one hit, We're Gonna Hold On. Especially after Tammy left, George and Peanut raised hell in every bar room from Nashville to Alabama until suddenly Peanut found himself a new running buddy, Jesus Christ. Peanut got religion. He gave up drinking and he gave up touring with George.
For George, it seemed doubly unfair. George had turned to God so many times in his darkest hours, begging for salvation. But God always ignored his prayers. God left him living in hell, day after day. And just when he was at his lowest, God took the only friend George had. George seethed with rage as he felt the cold steel of the revolver in his hand.
Since he wasn't able to get to the man upstairs, he would have to settle for taking a shot at the man upstairs' nearest fan. Just then, George, D-Doodle, and the old man saw headlights cresting over the top of a hill. It was Peanut's car. As they watched the car creep nearer, the old man warned George to stick to the plan. D-Doodle cackled with a wild look in his eye.
Peanut pulled his car up next to George. There was no one else in sight. He rolled down his window and slowly put his hands up on the car door while George glared daggers at him. Peanut gave his friend a sad look. He told George he had been praying for him. Just hearing the word praying was enough to twist George's face into a scowl. The old man and D-Doodle whispered to him. It was almost time.
Peanut said he loved George. He asked why George was persecuting him. D-Doodle and the old man looked at George. Both nodded their heads. Now, now was the time. George suddenly lifted the revolver up into view. He aimed it straight at Pina's head and he asked the question the de-doodle and the old man were screaming in his ear. Do you think your God is going to save you now?
And before Pina could answer, George closed his eyes and squeezed the trigger. A gunshot echoed through the creek bed and then everything went silent. When George opened his eyes, he saw smoke rising from a bullet hole in Peanut's car just an inch below the window. D-Doodle and the old man screamed at him to fire again. George pulled back the hammer and lined up his shot.
He held the gun on Peanut for a long moment, while Peanut just stared back at him without moving. Finally, George lowered the gun. He said, Well, Peanut, I guess God answered the call. And then George drove off into the darkness with smoke still curling around the bullet hole in Peanut Montgomery's car. Peanut visited the district attorney immediately after the shooting.
But after learning that George could get 15 years in jail for attempted murder, he decided not to press charges. Despite almost murdering his friend, George Jones did not slow down on his drug and alcohol consumption. The demonic voices of Gee Doodle and the old man demanded more, more cocaine, more whiskey, more control. Within a year, George's weight had plummeted to less than 100 pounds.
He declared bankruptcy and was reduced to living in a car parked in an alley in downtown Nashville, where he went days without eating solid food, arguing with the voices in his head. He was near death when Peanut finally convinced the judge to have George committed. In late 1979, George Jones landed at Hillcrest Psychiatric Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.
