From The Desk Of Jonny Fritz: Jocephus

JonnyFritzLogoJonny Fritz‘s sardonic, clever country rock has just landed him a record deal—signed in gravy at a local soul-food restaurant, natch—and his ATO Records debut, Dad Country, featuring backing from the boys in Dawes, has just hit shelves. He’s also trying to finish up paintings and leatherwork for a list of clients that reads like a who’s-who of the Music City hipsterati. Oh, and he got married to a woman he met at Mardi Gras. “I like to make the impulsive moves,” says Fritz, who used to go by the moniker Jonny Corndawg. Fritz will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new feature on him.

Jocephus

Jonny: He is my favorite amateur wrestler. (Who am I kidding? He’s everybody’s favorite!) I loved seeing Jocephus taunt hecklers at the Stadium Inn lobby in Nashville (back when they had wrestling in the lobby). One time he and his cavewoman partner destroyed this twerp. It was a foul, but it was a bad-boy move. An angry monster of a woman next to me stood up to call out the move. “It takes two of you to whoop one man!” she protested. To which Jocephus replied, “And it only takes one of you to eat two buffets.” I hear he’s a librarian in Madison, Tenn., by day.
