He earned his money. He can do whatever he wants with it. Stop looking for a handout.

He has never denied being from Pearsall and still has family there. He donates to a lot of charities and doesn't need to advertise it for the world to know, you'll be surprised how much time and money he gives, but refuses to be recognized for it. He is not out there for the glory he gives from the heart just like he sings from the heart. If you don't care for his music, don't listen, but don't hate either. Life is too short to worry about how much money he has or gives away.

Why should he give to the schools if the schools are owned by the State? Maybe for the City of Pearsall would be different...
Maybe George does not publicize Pearsall to protect his families privacy. Many, many legends and stars do that..I would if I were George.

All I know is that he was in Pearsall while attending Pearsall Junior High. I know this because his dad was my science teacher.

Daily Horoscope for December 24

Aquarius

Keep calm and all will be well. You're feeling slightly fraught because there are so many demands on your time, and it won't help if you're trying to juggle some last-minute chores with some fun-filled social events. Get others to lend you a hand, or tell yourself that perfection is not an option right now and that you'll have to scale down your preparations accordingly.
