In my opinion, any navy less than that which would give us the habitual command of our own coast and seas would be little short of useless.
Some of my biggest commercial musical influences would be people like Merle Haggard, George Jones, of course, Johnny Cash. People that wrote and sang their own stuff, I really admired.
My worst haircuts have been the ones where I've done my own.
