Twitter Users Come Together to Create 'Obama Country Songs'

Billy Dukes — Thu, 09 May 2013 17:25:43 +0000

Dave Shares His Favorite Earl Dibbles Jr. Facebook Posts

Dave Wheaton — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:00:11 +0000

I don't think anyone will be surprised to hear me say that Earl Dibbles, Jr. is the alter-ego of Granger Smith.

Smith as Dibbles, Jr. can easily be described as an extreme country boy who regularly speaks his opinion with a simplistic approach to life, love, political views and beer drinking (a.k.a. 'crackin' a cold one'). And he posts his opinion regularly on social network sites like Instagram, Twitter, and my personal source for Earl Dibbles Jr.-isms, Facebook.
