Soul Is A Feeling, Not A Color.

I Grew Up With The Grand Ole Opry, Dottie West, Conway Twitty, Buck Owens... Not Realizing It Was Influencing Me As Much As It Was.

Country Is Bringing In A Little Rock Element... A Little '80s Element. Melody Is King Now. But Its Just In The Music, Its Not So Much In The Songwriting, Which Is Still Very Basic To The Storytelling Aspect Of It.

Forget About 40 Years In Show Business. Just Surviving 27 Years Of Nicole Richie Is Enough.

People, As Critical As It Looks, We're Ok. We Are In Control, Whether We Feel It Or Not.
