I used to watch Hee Haw all the time and have been to the Ryman and stuff. Maybe I just forgot him.

Same with me, I do remember seeing him live at the Grand Ole Opry. Got a couple old photos from edge of stage.
Neat place back then btw

From what I've heard or read, saggy pants as a style started in prisons. It means you're a willing receiver.

Ain't gonna work on the railroad
Ain't gonna work on the farm
Gonna lay around this shack
Til the mail train comes back
Rollin in my sweet baby's arms

Not true. But it did start in prison.
"While sagging did gain its start in the U.S. prison system, it was not a clothes-wearing style authored by imprisoned homosexuals intent upon advertising their interest in casual flings. Sagging pants became the behind-the-bars thing thanks to ill-fittingprison-issue garb: some of those incarcerated were provided with clothing a few sizes too large. That oversizing, coupled with the lack of belts in the big house, led to a great number of jailbirds whose pants were falling off their arses. (Belts are not permitted in most correctional facilities because all too often the lifeless bodies of their inmate owners have been found hanging from them.) "

Stringbean looks like a child molester.
