Sadness. Country music legend Porter Wagoner has passed away at the age of 80.

Damn. I had a feeling he was going to go quickly. He was mentioned several times during this weekend's "Opry" telecast.

Hi, just a fan of yours and I usually just watch your journal but I just wanted to comment on how sad this was as well. My grandmother called me before work to tell me as though he were a relative of ours.

I remember seeing him on TV when my dad used to watch country music shows on weekends. One of country's last true showmen from that age who will be dearly missed. Thanks for the heads-up.

Damn. I grew up with my mother playing Porter & Dolly records. To this day I associate their voices with cleaning the house. (My mother also worked, but she's a compulsive cleaner and everyone - including dad, my brothers and me - were expected to do our part Or Else. :))

I knew he was ill, but aw, what a bummer. I was looking forward to hearing him and Dolly perform together one more time. He'll be missed.

May he rest in peace in the company of so many of his friends.

Dang. That hits kind of hard. I grew up on Porter Wagoner, Dolly, and mostly old school country. I remember hearing The Green, Green Grass of Home and Cold Hard Facts of Life and loving those song. Porter will be greatly missed.

Did you guys see this article CNN ran in August about his concert with the White Stripes in Madison Square Garden? It made me all sniffly. I'm glad he had some moments like that just recently before he died. It must have been amazing to all of a sudden be cool again to a whole new generation.
