There's a certain grace in accepting what your life is and embracing all the good things that have been - but there's still an expectation of good things to come. Not necessarily what you expected.

I was feeling single, seeing double, wound up in a whole lotta trouble.

It's basically a city of songwriters and that's what gives it it's strength, that's what gives it its lasting ability. You've got people making all different kinds of music and that's what attracts me to Nashville as Music City.

If I'm crazy, I'm blissfully so!

Pretty much all I say politically is I encourage people to register to vote.
