In a post titled "Saying Goodbye to My Hero," Brad Paisley paid tribute to country legend Little Jimmy Dickens, who recently died at age 94. The "Whiskey Lullaby" singer opened for the Grand Ole Opry star when he was starting out in the music business. Dickens was also a favorite guest at the CMAs in recent years, clowning around with Paisley as he hosted alongside Carrie Underwood."Why was he my hero? Jimmy made more out of his time on earth than anyone I've ever k**wn; an incredible life in every measurable way," Paisley wrote on his website. "Longevity? Yes, practically unheard of. Faith? Totally and wholeheartedly. Humor? There was ** one funnier, or with a better sense of it."Paisley called Dickens the best entertainer he has ever seen, adding that "he was the best friend any human being could ask for. Bar **ne.""Love? This was a big one. I think he loved everyone he ever met, and if **t, he never let it be k**wn. More importantly, I think everyone who ever met him loved him instantly...and forever," he wrote.Dickens was k**wn for hits like "May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your **se" and "Take an Old Cold Tater (and Wait)," which earned him the nickname "Tater" from buddy Hank Williams.
