Clean-up[edit]

"How the music all began." Ouch. Someone needs to clean this up.

An anon. editor deleted the formatting and categories that were previously there. I've restored them. Maltmomma ^(chat) 01:28, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Musical career[edit]

It's nice to have the story about Johnny's run in with the law for the goat situation, but how about something that acknowledges what a great country music star (of the 1970s and early 1980s) he was? He was quite successful with his Tex-Mex style, after all. [[Briguy52748 18:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)]][reply]

Actually, even though I don't know much about the man's career, I'm not too sure about the goat situation itself. It occupies half of the article, the other half being a list of Rodriguez's albums, and is more a piece of trivia than anything truly important. There are slang words and changes in tense (past to present), which don't really suit Wikipedia. Cromag 21:47, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We need to see a more detailed biography about Johnny and his career and his hit songs. I already have included a full discography of his singles. We need to know about his career with Mercury Records, Epic Records, and Capitol Records. User:BravesFan2006 17:47 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I deleted the whole goat rustling incident. Why should something like that have such a prominent place on his article? Let's try to find some more information on him. Agadant 14:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has made some big progress since I saw it last. Hope to have more time soon to contribute. Johnny R. was a very popular country artist in the 1970s but most young people today have never heard of him. Agadant 14:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Made some corrections and did some rewording but the article could probably have more links and certainly needs references and notes, if anyone has time. Agadant 16:37, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also don't think he lives in Tennessee anymore. I don't think he's lived there for quite some time. Last I heard, he was in San Antonio, TX, but he may be living in a different city now. Anyone know for sure?

Appearance on the Highwayman album[edit]

Johnny performed with Waylon, Willie, Kris and Johnny Cash in the song "Deportee (plane wreck at Los Gatos) on the Highway album released in 1985. It would be nice if he could be credited with that performance as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.192.233.161 (talk) 22:36, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
