Former fiddler for The Band Perry Jason Fitz, who left the Band Perry last August, has been hired on by ESPN as a sports personality. He appeared on an ESPN’s Ryen Russillo Show last week and participated in a segment where callers asked him to gossip on country personalities. The very first question was who in country music he would most want to punch in the face, and Jason Fitz answered:
“Alan Jackson. Wholeheartedly. Alan Jackson. All day. Everyday.”
Jason Fitz’s reasoning? “Played with Alan Jackson on a TV thing years ago like in a big orchestra, and it was a Christmas special, and he didn’t like the mix in his monitors, and he would only sing one word, ‘Have.’”Fitz says. “It was ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.’ He kept going, ‘Have … Have…’ And he didn’t like the mix and he’d walk off after one word. It was the worst experience. So yeah, Alan Jackson top of the list.”
