Music is my happiness, my joy, and when my body wasn't right I couldn't get into my music without being healed, without being healthy.

I know for one thing that alcohol will have no more part in my life.

Doctors removed my gallbladder and pancreas, which are supposed to break down sugar and alcohol.

I'm lookin' at these Disney characters, these young girls coming out looking like, little whores.

Record designers marvel on that stuff. They go back and look at old covers, then make new ones.

I tell the songwriter's story. When I read people's lyrics, I'm so amazed. I want to tell this story and make it part of my life. I usually can't write lyrics down, but I can sure tell that story. You've got to make people feel the hurt and love in each song.

Maybe I won't have as much energy. And maybe the highs in my voice won't be what they used to be. But exercise is helping me pace myself.
