Does anyone know whether he was born in Plainview or Seth Ward, Texas? The article gives both, side by side. I note that they are very close to one another, in the same part of the same county. Everyking 11:02, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Somebody changed it to say Seth Ward was his birth name, and he was born in Plainview, but that seems odd to me, since there's a place called "Seth Ward, Texas" right near Plainview, which would be a remarkable coincidence unless the former town was actually named after him at a later date (or the other way around, I guess, theoretically).

Well, I found it in a few different places: [1] [2] and more. The name of the town is relatively new (post-WWII). It was named after a college, which was named after a minister in 1910, so it's highly probably that it's not a coincidence: it could be that Jimmy Dean is a relative of the minister and was given his name.

Parody of Big Bad John

There was this funny parody that I can't remember the title of and it was the opposite pretty much. Instead of a brave tough manly man it was about a guy who was cowardly and ran away from gunfights. Things like that. Anyone remember the title?

Splitting the article?

Can anyone explain why the "article split" tag has been applied here? I don't get it. 23skidoo 05:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there's a company "Jimmy Dean Foods" that would qualify as its own article. I added it to the dablink at the top but currently it redirects here. I removed the split template. Kaisershatner 15:42, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He was born Jimmy Ray Dean, and not Seth Ward, as is sometimes stated. Seth Ward is the district of Plainview, Texas where he grew up.

Is there an alternative grammar that might be applied?

He was born Jimmy Ray Dean, and not Seth Ward, as is sometimes stated. Seth Ward is a district in Plainview, Texas, where he grew up.

Thank You.
