I think I'm most proud of my family right now. I'm more into that then I've ever been. It also gives a new area to draw from in creativity with my songs.

Keep your opinions to yourself. I think it's important that I stay neutral on politics and remain hard to understand. I don't want to be pigeonholed as conservative, liberal, independent or anything. I back the man for the things the man believes in, not whether it says "R" or "D" down there beside his name.

And there's some Latino music I like, and some reggae music.

I've got one young family by the first wife, with four children.

The turn I made was not the one I planned. And I watched my social standing slip away from me, while I watched the bottle slowly take command.

There are so many conditions to programming in America, where it's dominated by these people that own 800 radio stations that have no idea who to play and who not to play, and they listen to somebody or read somebody else's programming sheet and go by Buck Owens' opinion or something. Eight hundred stations are controlled by some guy that doesn't have a clue as to what to do about music.

I can't really say why everyone loves Bob Wills' music, but I have yet to meet a person who didn't like it.
