| | In Strait's world, fistfights — not trial lawyers — would decide justice, smoking in public would be just fine and George Jones would be king. | | | The money required to lure the 53-yearold country icon to the UK would be massive, perhaps prohibitive, considering that it would take a very large arena to stage a show for a performer who normally sells out the 70,000/80,000-seater rodeo stadia in the United States. | | | Country megastar George Strait rarely leaves his native Texas - he prefers the wide open plains of the Lone Star state and his extensive ranch to the rigours of city life which he experiences occasionally on touring schedules. |
