I Try Never To Focus On The Radio, Just Find Great Songs, Find Emotion And Just Write The Best Songs You Can. I Think When You Get Fixated On Trying To Do Something Too Accurate, It Becomes More Washed Out And Less What You Intended It To Be.

I Really Like The Old Stuff That I Cut My Musical Teeth On, And I Loved It When The Industry Was Just Like That, Without Really A Genre. Today, Country Radio's More Aimed At A Demographic Than A Genre. It Just Softens Everything.

I Think The Real Problem Is That Nobody Buys Albums Anymore, So You Don't Get The Depth Of The Artists That Are Out Today. What You Get Is Whatever They Felt Is Politically Correct To Get On There And Actually Make Some Impact. I Think That's Where You're Losing Your Depth. You're Only Getting The Very Top Of Everything. It Really Bothers Me.

If You're Truly In A Band And You Guys Have Been Together For A Long Time, There's A Family Bond That You Have. In Fact, I've Talked About This With Therapists, Especially If You're Talking About A Relationship, Because When You're With Somebody, You're Going To Your Family, And She's Alone.

Life Aint Always Beautiful, But Its A Beautiful Ride.
