Brad Paisley Says Justin Bieber Is Living a George Jones Song!

Growing up in the old-fashioned way is something that Brad Paisley is proud of, but it's also something he can use to have a little fun. At a press conference in London, where he performed at the Country to Country festival, he was chatting about his childhood with reporters and his train of thought went to the train-wrecks here in the U.S. ... namely Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus!

"I grew up on the Andy Griffith Show, I grew up listening to Johnny Cash records, and some of that’s an old-fashioned thing, but in the old-fashioned sense, we sang about stuff that’s really hip now, such as Johnny Cash sang about drug abuse, and he sang about adultery and all these things that are really popular now!" he said. “We were way ahead of the game! Have you watched Justin Bieber lately? He is living a George Jones song! If he needed a soundtrack for what’s going on with him, or Miley, let me know!"

Perhaps Paisley was thinking about Jones' songs "Choices," "Beer Run," and "I've got Five Dollars and I'ts Saturday Night," to name a few, when he was thinking about The Bieb!

It's a sad day when the antics of the younger artists get so outlandish on such a regular basis that all the older artists can do is make jokes about them.
