In country music, one of the ways we may have gone wrong in the past is trying to be politically correct all the time.
I remember telling the head of Warner Brothers that if they'd just make a video for 'Ol' Red'... and if it didn't work, they could drop me from the label.
It is one of the most validating things for an artist like me, to have people sing along to your songs.
I'm not that smart, but I'm smart enough to know that if Usher wants to help you, you let him.
I grew up listening to 1980s country music, mostly. Early '90s. That time period was my favorite.
My favorite television show has changed throughout the years. I used to think 'Married... With Children' was really funny. But now that I've gotten older, it's 'The Golden Girls,' believe it or not. That shows kills me.
