You'd think I'd have been happiest in my life playing music in front of 50,000 people at Gillette Stadium. But let me tell you, it's an odd feeling to feel alone in the spotlight.
It's a funny thing about these kinda towns. They may not be big or flashy, but they're like where I come from: real basic, pretty simple and all heart. The people that live in those places, that come from those kinds of towns, they remind you about everything that's good about folks, so it's great to be able to start our next leg right smack in the middle of it all.
It's awesome to me the number of people who don't really know who you are, but who're finding this music now and are curious, and my attitude is always to let people have a sense of who you are, so they know where this music and these songs come from. Because it is my life, or the life of people I know.
Over the years I've had people tell me that they come to my show to escape.
I was standing onstage last year, and I felt like I wanted to be somewhere else. No matter how many people were out there, it all just felt like a blank sheet of paper.
This is a bit of curveball, but people who are really good kissers never have anything given to them.
I've gotten to meet so many people who've inspired me as a human being.
I think it is important for this record to finally get out to remind people I'm not in tabloids for a living. It comes with the territory right now and I understand it, but I'm looking forward to getting back to the music, because that's what is most important and what got me here in the first place.
People who can't kiss had everything given to them.

I'm glad to know that that can happen. That that exists. And we really still care about each other a lot, ... The Road and the Radio.
I made a decision about a year ago that I was just gonna try to feel and look the best I possibly could. Does it help me sing any better? No. Does it help me pick any better songs? No...
I need it all and I need it now' was my mentality before. I used to rush everything to get it done.
wrap the rest of the album around, a song so universally identifiable that it would make the album have more of a foundation.
