These Musicians Were Terrible People Behind the Scenes

Johnny Paycheck

Johnny Paycheck is remembered for not only his contributions to country music but also for his single attempted murder. The details of the encounter are a little hazy, but basically a fan approached him at a bar, they got to chatting, and someone said the wrong thing that ended in a fight. Paycheck shot the fan and missed, but still spent nine years behind bars for the attempt. Bet he's not such a big fan now...
