I actually read GJ's autobio some years ago. A classic story:

Jones was on tour w/Buck Owens and they got into an argument over something or other. So one night GJ went on stage and instead of doing his own set list, he did every song in Owens' act.

Jones: "I walked offstage and told him quietly, 'You're on'.

He wasn't amused."

I'd heard this story over the years. Never knew how true it was, but George was definitely crazy enough to do it.
