Hoping for the best for the troubled, very sick Randy Travis...

On August 7, 2012, police in Grayson County, Texas responded to a call that an unclothed man was lying in the road. Police reported that they arrived to find Travis unclothed and smelling of alcohol. Police say that Travis crashed his car in a construction zone, and that when they attempted to apprehend him, Travis threatened the lives of the officers. Travis was subsequently arrested for driving while intoxicated and retaliation against law enforcement officials. He posted bail in the amount of $21,500. Earlier in the same evening, just prior to the DUI arrest, Travis allegedly walked into a Tiger Mart convenience store naked, demanding cigarettes from the cashier, who in turn called the authorities. According to the store clerk, Travis left the store upon realizing he did not have any money to pay for the cigarettes.

Travis's troubles continued, as on August 24, 2012, police in Plano, Texas, cited him for simple assault after responding to an early morning call stating that two men were fighting outside an unnamed church. Both men were reportedly taken to the hospital following the incident, with one witness stating that Travis appeared to be "extremely intoxicated".

On August 25, 2012, a pickup truck registered to Travis was found wrecked and abandoned in a field in Frisco, Texas.  On January 31, 2013, Travis pleaded guilty to his August accident and received two years probation, a $2,000 fine and a 180-day suspended jail sentence

You're a cynic about CW music and singers. Let them go in peace and whatever destruction they bring upon themselves. Unlike many of the "fucked up" souls in the music business in general. Please, find me some heroes and role models!!!!!

JR, are you going all touchy-feely on me? I like Randy, but you have to admit the naked thing is funny (and sad).

Long live cynicism.
