Don't Cry For Me Texas

If you grew up in Texas in the 80s, your family had a tube of Jimmy Dean sausage in the fridge. Now I admit, Jimmy Dean Sausage hasn't crossed my mind in years. However, when I heard that bitch Sara Lee was dropping Jimmy Dean from its sausage line, I got a little sad and waxed nostalgic for the silver tube of 2 month old sausage in my family fridge (1983 vintage).




Breaking up is hard to do, but it looks like the country singer played a role himself in the demise of his relationship with Sara Lee. Granted, being 75 and a name from the past doesn't help, but neither does his attitude. For example,

Dean acknowledged he has resisted some advertising initiatives since Sara Lee bought his business.

"They wanted me to say some things, like 'Breakfast never sounded so good,'" he said. "Breakfast don't sound. If you want it to sound, you'd better put your hand in the skillet."

But I don't know why I feel so sad about all this. Jimmy's still a freaking bizillionaire. Maybe what's bothering me is that this is just one more example that you really never can go home again.
