I Am What I Am (George Jones album) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I habitually troll Wikipedia. Yesterday I was watching a documentary on Jim Jones the cult leader from Guyana (via California). It was an amazing show that showed how the cult members willingly and unwillingly drank the poisoned kool aid. Usually,when I’m interested in something, I wiki or google it. I’m annoyingly curious that way. As soon as I typed in Jim Jones a question popped up.
“Is the country singer George Jones Related to cult leader Jim Jones?”
It was like finding a pot of gold! There are some photos that show characteristic resemblances and of course they have the same last name! Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any data linking the two. So…Mr. George Jones, if you’re out there let us know!
Here is a photo of cult leader Jim Jones? Think they might be kin folk?

Funnily enough, I was looking at a similar ( possible the same) documentary a few days ago. I’m Guyanese and became aware of Jonestown from my dad.
I was looking up some songs by Mr. Jones and then it hit me….. are these two related…
They do look rather similar, then I found this:

I’m not convinced yet however.
