Jelly Roll was overcome with emotion while speaking with Howard Stern about the one Bette Midler song his mother asked him to play at her own funeral.
Jelly Roll continued his reign as the most honest artist in country music. During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show Wednesday, Jelly Roll became emotional while describing the impact one song had on his life and relationship with his mother. 'By the way, I love this story, too,' Stern told Jelly Roll. 'That song, 'Save Me,' was inspired by the song by Bette Midler, ‘The Rose,’ because you and your mom used to listen all the time.
My mother would play this, keep in mind she was a really dark woman at the time. She would say, ‘Play this at my funeral,'' Jelly Roll remembered. 'She would sit at the kitchen table… I still get emotional listening to it. And she would smoke these cigarettes, and she would just be like, ‘Just remember to play this when I die.’' He added, 'So the first tattoo I ever got was a rose on my back with her name.
How does a mother say to her son, ‘Please play this at my funeral,’' Howard wondered. 'That's coming from a woman who didn't think she was going to live, and I know how that feels,' Jelly Roll said. 'I know how it feels to think you're not going to live.' The 'Son of a Sinner' singer also told Stern that he met wife Bunnie Xo at a bar when he was 'just so lost in life.
