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.

[edit] 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?

[edit] 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)

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)
