It's a robust time, probably the most fertile time for the underground and for revolution since Nixon. I'm not talking about political overthrow; I'm talking about just general cultural revolution. Bush has polarised the country and is creating this breeding ground for an opposition. In the next couple of months, they'll probably make it unpatriotic to be Democrat. It's pretty crazy.

You gotta keep changing. Shirts, old ladies, whatever.

Southern man better keep your head, don't forget what your good book says.

I see country music, I see people who take care of their own. You've got 75 year-old guys on the road. That's what I was put here to do, y'know, so I wanna make sure I surround myself with people who are gonna take care of me. 'Cause I'm in it for the long run.

This time [2016] is very similar to the '60s, as far as I can tell.

I am succeeding because people are talking about how they would do it better.

You're as close to heaven as I'll ever be.
