I mean, this picture is a classic.  I like to call it "Dueling Mullets" and Tanner gave it his best shot when he met him in Ohio back in the day.   They just don't come any nicer than Joe Diffie.  You couldn't turn on this radio station in the late 80s and 90s without hearing a Joe Diffie song about once every two hours.

Joe was born in Oklahoma, was a grammy winner and a major star in the 90s.  His top selling songs include "John Deere Green", "Pickup Man", "Ships That Don't Come In", "Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox" and "Honky Tonk  Attitude".  Sadly we lost Joe this year at the age of 61.  He had underlying conditions when contracting Covid 19.

Hard to choose just one of Joe's classic videos but we went with this one and we hope you enjoy!
