Achy, Breaky Heart
Billy Ray Cyrus was born August 25th, 1961. He dropped out of Georgetown in his junior year because he went to a Neil Diamond concert and decided he wanted to become a musician. The only notable fact about Billy Ray's musical career is the song Achy, Breaky Heart. It was written by an amateur songwriter, Don Van Tress. And it was originally recorded by a band called The Marcy Brothers, but their version changed lyrics to be less bad. So when Billy got the song, he was like, no, no,. no, let's make it keep it shitty.
