“Making music is still what keeps a fire going on in me.”

I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I’ve gotten older, I think. I noticed that.

I’m hooked on my baby’s love, there ain’t nothing in the jug this strong.

And radio definitely doesn’t; they want that positive, uptempo thing.

I probably should put a little more energy into it.

Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke risin’ against that blue sky?

I’ve been a lot of places, and my wife, Denise, she likes a lot of the fancy restaurants.

I think if you retire from touring, then people think you are retired.
