My partner and I won the race, and I threw my hat into the air and bent to pick it up. Everyone started laughin' because I had split the back end of my pants out, and I wasn't wearing shorts.

I admire bull riders for their passion and the uniqueness each one of them has.

I can remember sittin in a cafe when I first started in rodeo, and waitin until somebody got done so I could finish what they left.

In fact my son subscribes to Pro Bull Rider magazine.

I don't know what makes a guy want to write songs and sing, but if you've got a message, you want to get it across. When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.

I'm healed up and I feel great. After going through the fire, it's great to be out performing again.

And takin' a bath in the creek. That's the stuff that really made it worthwhile. Anybody can stay in a motel.
