care honesty hope measure music outlook share songwriter
I'm not into music as a consumer. A songwriter should share their outlook with a measure of honesty, the hope being that they care about what they're writing about.
fall years car
I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.
important records care
It's more important for me to have a good record with good music and be part of a movie that's good and where the music is used in a really great way. That's the important thing. The other stuff you want to say about it, I don't care.

Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.

early experience factor fair memory music period played redneck reflect riding songs sound state taking time vivid weakness
I pictured it taking place in the early '70s during my own experience at the state fair at the time. You know, that kind of white-trashy redneck factor which I have a real weakness for.
