I believe you might want to say something. I've never seen you at a loss for words.
We played everything from "White Sports Coat" to Bill Haley and the Comets - whatever happened to be the "in music" at the time.
We never envisioned this much stuff. I'm overwhelmed by the support out there for the troops, ... only one company that will remain nameless turned us down.
I didn't really fit well with what was going on in Nashville at the time. I was too loud, I was too bluesy, I was too "a lot of things.
I don't have any real "process." Some people in Nashville go in like an assembly line. They're able to go and write. My son runs a publishing company. He has writers that come down. They get together in a room with the people that actually make appointments, and write - which is great. I can't do that very well.

Every award I've ever received has been very gratifying. The Living Legend Award was extremely gratifying; it was voted on by the fans. It's just great to be remembered after all these years, to still be a viable part of the music business. So, I'm very deeply honored by all the awards.

We're gonna hunt you down like a mad dog hound and make you pay for the lives you stole,
I wouldn't trade places with anybody in the world. I love what I do.
I have people talking about, "Boy, I hate to go to work." I love to go to work!
I can't imagine not having a reason to get out of bed at night.
I just can't imagine not having something to do.
The word 'retirement' is not in my vocabulary right now.
