QUOTE: "I love great rootsy music that rocks hard. I love Johnny, Merle, Willie, Waylon, Buck... guys who had the love for true honest expression of their lives and souls and weren't afraid to do things the way they felt, regardless of what the hit-making machine in Nashville said. Music should be your languAGE to speak about your passions, not just a way to get looked at. That's why God made models."
