My Past Is A Bit Checkered.

I'm A Bit Of An Insomniac. I'm Always Thinking. I've Got A Lot Of Ideas For Lyrics And Shows. I Have A Notepad By The Side Of The Bed And Voice Recorders Around The House.

They Believed You Can't Mix Rock, Country, And Rap, And That Crossover Is Dead. I Always Knew It Would Work. And It Will Always Work As Long As You're Really Into It And Like What You're Doing.

I See Friends Who Are In Different Genres Of Music, And They Say They're So Burnt Playing The Same Stuff Every Night. That's Why You See A Country Act Wanting To Go Out And Play An Old Classic Rock Song. But What Cracks Me Up Is That They All Want To Be Jimmy Buffett. I Can't Figure That Out.

I've Just Really Been Into Melody And Lyrics And Songwriting. Writing A Rap, To Me, Is Easy. I Could Write A Rap Like That. But Writing Songs And Melodies And S**t That's Hopefully Going To Stick Around For 30, 40 Years Is F**king Hard...if You Have Good Songs And You're Talented, People Will Eventually Come To Your Shows, People Will Buy Your Music.

I Still Love Old-school Hip-hop, But There Hasn't Been A Lot That I've Taken From The New Stuff.
