How nice to see someone write about a good and decent person! I have been a George Strait Fan since Unwound came out and I am still a fan today. This man has lived his life in the spotlight of fame and I am so proud of him being such a great example for anyone to look up to!
We need more like him!
Thanks for writing such a nice article about a TRUE AMERICAN HERO!!!

I've been a George Strait fan since 1985. Seen him in concert over 20 times. I can never get enough of him and what a down to earth person he is!( I wish my name was Norma)Hes 50ish and georgeous!!!!

So happy for him when he won those awards on the CMA. Loved his comment that some country performers claim they have the best fans in the world, but he really does have the best fans in the world. What a nice compliment to people like us who want him to be around forever.

If you ever shake hands with him at the end of his show, notice those sparkling eyes!

I have to have my daily dose of George; he's better than any medicine out there. Oh, yeah, I laugh, cry, whimper and moan - and that's just from listening to his music.....I ain't confessin' beyond that! Sure love OUR George....he is for the ages!! The best.
