It wasn't his only hit, you know...

I know it was a huge song for him, and that it brought his career back from the dead, but I could certainly stand to hear other songs from George Jones besides "He Stopped Loving Her Today" -- especially on a radio show whose aim is to showcase the best country songs from years gone by. "A Good Year For the Roses," "The Grand Tour," "Still Doin' Time," "If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will)," "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" -- those are just a few of the best from Jones' repertoire, but I almost never hear those anymore. I have to wonder, why is that? Whatever the reason, it really irks me....
