I wasn't for Vietnam. When I told that to the hippie newspaper, all my people got nervous.

There's more women stars in Nashville all the time. They're proving they can do the job the same as a man.

If I found out some gal was trying to steal my guy, I'd want to give her a black eye! Instead, I wrote this song. At the time I was writing each song [on this album], you could figure out the frame of mind I was in by listening closely. With every song I've ever recorded, I'm in it. I wouldn't write about it if I wasn't in it.

I get along with all the women singers, but especially Dolly Parton. We talk the same hillbilly language.
