All I cared about was the music, like hearing Townes [ Van Zandt] talking about “For the sake of the song”; it’s all that mattered. In spite of me a couple of things happened, mainly the Eagles and Seven Bridges Road. That certainly helped me survive. Joan Baez, Rita Coolidge, and Ian Matthews did it.

Brett Favre plays for championships. That’s the only reason he puts up with all of this stuff. He’s going to start to figure out, if it’s true, that the Packers are not going to be competing for championships. The moment that comes into his heart – oh my gosh, the Packers are not going to be able to make it – that’s the day he retires. It won’t take much once he realizes that’s where the Packers are going.

I always had a hard time with Nashville. I reluctantly live there. I’ve mellowed, and it’s improved some, in the fact it has more immigrants. There’s some real Mexicans there, some folks from India, some of this and that. I’m not satisfied at all with living there. It’s a dilemma for me.

I didn’t have the self-promotion instinct, and I just didn’t care about it. I sort of had a “beat” attitude.

I had a guy who went out of way to help me get started and somehow saw something in me. I couldn’t get my hands on a real guitar till I was fourteen. I always wanted one from the time I was a tiny kid. Music was bigger than life to me.

I had admired Waylon [ Jennings], but I never expected to meet him and get to know him. When I finally moved to Nashville years later, one night I went to a Harlan Howard Guitar Pull thing, and there was Waylon. He started talking about how much he loved my work and how great I was, and I couldn’t even get a word in.

I have somewhat [Taylor’s or Gallagher’s guitars], but I like the power of the Martins.

I heard black people sing and the emotion was overwhelming to me. The power of that with all the built in sorrow and joy was just overwhelming to me as a little kid. It was the real deal.

I may yet move [from Nashville], and where would I move if not Texas or New Mexico? I couldn’t afford a home in California. I need to travel out of there occasionally.
