Sorry, that's all I'm  saying.....for now!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> <B> </B>Any tattoos or piercings-<B> I have the tattoo on my left forearm.  It </B></div> <div> <B> took me 3 years to decide what I wanted.  I felt like if I was going </B></div> <div> <B>to do something permanent like that, it should really mean something </B></div> <div> <B>to me.  It's an Ancient Chinese letter that translates into one word:</B></div> <div> <B>"Rage."  I got it b/c to me it means "Never Give Up."  I saw a poem</B></div> <div> <B>at  the end of a Tim McGraw song when I was 14.  The song was "She Can't </B></div> <div> <B>Be Really Gone," and right at the end the screen goes black and says </B></div> <div> <B>"...Rage against the dying of the light..."  That's the hook from the</B></div> <div> <B> poem, "Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good Night", by Dylan Thomas.  I </B></div> <div> <B>later came across the poem again when I was in college and that's</B></div> <div> <B>when  it hit me that my tattoo should be something like that.</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> People in High School would describe me as<B> - They'd probably say I</B></div> <div> <B> was  shy and quiet.  I'd say that's what I was.  It always surprises me </B></div> <div> <B>that I do what I do for a living!  That was such a hard thing for me </B></div> <div> <B>to get over when I was a teenager.  I wanted to be on stage and play </B></div> <div> <B> music though, so I did just that, I got over it.</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> Nicknames-<B> Man, you I've acquired so many over the years!  Some of </B></div> <div> <B> them I'll keep to myself but here are a few:  My dad always called me</B></div> <div> <B> Hot Rod, my step-dad called me Snake, my mom called me Jake, my band </B></div> <div> <B> calls me Jones, and my agent calls me Double Jay.  How's that for  variety???</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> <B> </B>What is something people would be surprised to know about you<B>- The  first thing I ever </B></div> <div> <B>played on a guitar was the lick to "The Unforgiven"  by Metallica.  Who'd have thunk it?</B></div> <div> <B>></B></div> <div> <B> </B>Tv show I never miss<B>- I used to watch the show 'Nip Tuck' religiously, </B></div> <div> <B> and I love to watch 'Scrubs' re-runs.</B></div> <div> >  </div> <div>  Last movie I saw was<B>- I really can't remember.  My memory stinks....</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> <B> </B>Bottle or Draft-<B>  I'll take a bottle!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> The one cd I'll never get rid of <B>- Any of my Keith Urban c.d.'s!

 Just kidding...  I'd</B></div> <div> <B>  really like to do something to make this world a better place.  I</B></div> <div> <B> know  it sounds cliche, but I've always been sentimental and aware of how </B></div> <div> <B> other people feel.  There are a lot of sick people, unhappy people, </B></div> <div> <B> homeless people, etc., in this world.  I've always been the kind of </B></div> <div> <B> person who wants to try to save everybody, and I will if I can!!!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> Favorite restaurant meal-<B> You can't beat a good steak, preferably a </B></div> <div> <B> rib-eye or New York strip.  Or some good pepperoni and cheese pizza!!!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> <B> </B>On saturday nights I like to<B>- If I'm not on the road or on a stage </B></div> <div> <B>somewhere, and I'm actually at home, I'm cool with kicking back on my</B></div> <div> <B> couch with my dog Chance for a movie or a good book.  Maybe head down</B></div> <div> <B> to Broadway in Nashville and catch up with some friends I haven't</B></div> <div> <B> seen  in a while.  They're usually on stage though...</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div>  Do you like your hair<B>- I like it alright.  It drives me crazy when I </B></div> <div> <B>go home to Florida b/c it's so humid there that my hair goes "POOF!"</B></div> <div> <B>Gots to keep a ball cap handy down there.</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> <B> Who let the dogs out- I believe that was the "Baha Men."</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> <B> </B>Can you cook<B>- I can cook!  I don't know how to cook a variety of </B></div> <div> <B> things, but I'm always up for trying out new recipes.  I'm more of a </B></div> <div> <B>grill guy really.  I firmly believe you can cook nearly anything on a</B></div> <div> <B>grill!  The only problem is that I'm hardly ever home long enough to </B></div> <div> <B>even go grocery shopping....sigh....</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> Biggest pet peeve<B>- People who drive slow in the fast lane, especially</B></div> <div> <B> while talking or TEXTING on their cell phone.  Aarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div>  Last night I got to bed at<B>- Hmmm, I'd say around 4 a.m.  That's the </B></div> <div> <B>usual when we're out on the road playing.  It's so hard to go to</B></div> <div> <B>sleep after being on stage all night and not getting home 'til 2 or later.</B></div> <div> <B>Too much adrenaline left in the veins!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> Do you really drink way, way "Too Much Wine"<B>- Well, I have on occasion </B></div> <div> <B> had too much wine, but I try not to let it happen often.  But when it</B></div> <div> <B>  happens, let me tell ya, it happens!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> Who's your favorite fan-<B> Now that's something I don't think I'll ever</B></div> <div> <B>  be able to narrow down to just one!  I love all my fans....  They not</B></div> <div> <B> only make what I do for a living possible, they make it fun and worth</B></div> <div> <B>  every second!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> If you could open for any artist who would it be<B>- I would love to</B></div> <div> <B> open  for Keith Urban or Brad Paisley, maybe a few others.  I admire those </B></div> <div> <B>guys because they write great songs, they're musicianship is amazing,</B></div> <div> <B>they put on an incredible show, and they sing really well, both in the studio</B></div> <div> <B>and on the stage.</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> What would you title your autobiography<B>- Jason Jones:  The Man Behind</B></div> <div> <B> the Guitar.  I don't know, it sounded dramatic, right???</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> My best quality is<B>- Well, they tell me it's my dimples, so I'm gonna </B></div> <div> <B>> go with that!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> Worst vice-<B> I'm doing pretty good actually.  It definitely used to be</B></div> <div> <B> biting my finger nails, but I quit back in December of '06.  Now,</B></div> <div> <B> it's probably just the fact that I like to procrastinate on everything.  </B></div> <div> <B>That doesn't work well with how hectic my life tends to get on a </B></div> <div> <B>regular basis!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> <B> </B>Dont even get me started on<B>- People who drive slow in the fast lane </B></div> <div> <B>while talking on their cell phones!!!!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> Who are the best people to hang with-<B> I love hanging out with my </B></div> <div> <B>family!  I never get to see them anymore, maybe once or twice a year.</B></div> <div> <B>It's always a good time!  And something crazy always happens while </B></div> <div> <B>hanging out with my band, or a few other friends of mine; I never</B></div> <div> <B>pass  up those opportunities!  Also, some of the guys I write with are</B></div> <div> <B>great  to hang out with.  They're so in tune to the world, themselves, and </B></div> <div> <B>their surroundings.  I always find myself trying to figure out what's</B></div> <div> <B>going inside their heads.  It fascinates me....</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> Favorite movies-<B> Aw man, there are so many I'll probably miss some </B></div> <div> <B>good ones.  I love "Legends of the Fall", just about any Will Ferrell</B></div> <div> <B> movie, "Dumb and Dumber" is a classic I was recently re-introduced</B></div> <div> <B> to,  Adam Sandler movies are great (such as Big Daddy, Billy Madison,</B></div> <div> <B> Happy Gilmore, Little Nicky, Anger Management, Wedding Singer etc...),</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div>  Besides a credit card what do you never leave home without<B>- I always </B></div> <div> <B>try to have a guitar pick in my pocket, just in case!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> Im not responsible for<B>- ...anything that happened in 1979.  I'd just  been born!</B></div> <div> >  </div> <div>  I want to get stranded on a desert island with-<B> I'll really have to  put some thought into</B></div> <div> <B> that one.  Check back later, lol.</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> What's the last song you have stuck in yoiur head-<B> "Sweet  Caroline"....</B></div> <div> <B>you know you just sang it in your head while your read  it!</B></div> <div> <B>>  </B></div> <div> Do you sing in the shower<B>- Just about every time!
