Tonight I'm The Designated Drinker.

"after 17" Is A Song I Wrote When My First Daughter Went To College, So That's Kind Of Where I'm At In That Part Of My Life. If You Listen To That Song And Knew Anything About Me, You'd Say, "oh Yeah, He Wrote That About His Daughter," But I Try Not To Write Them That They Are So Specific That They Wouldn't Apply To Anybody That Has A Child.

You Think A Lot Of People Get To Be Big Stars And Get A Little Crazy, But Most Of The Ones I've Ever Met Have Always Been Surprisingly Normal, And I've Enjoyed That.

Hee Haw Was Probably My Biggest Exposure To Live Music At A Young Age, Because There Wasn't Any Live Music Around My Town And No One In My Family Played Instruments.

I Grew Up With Nothing, So Whenever I Got To Where I Could Have Something I Felt Like I Needed To Have Everything I Couldn't Have When I Was Young.

I've Always Said That If You Have Songs On The Radio And Get Played, You've Got To Have A Tour To Support That.
