I misfired and said some things in the past about people, namely John Mayer. And I didn't have the guts to apologize.
I've had my fair share of words being twisted and articles being sliced and diced.
I can't get booked on the Fourth of July, or it'll be, 'Do you want to open for the opener for Toby Keith?' Hell, no.
The smartest thing I've done for my kids is writing a song about a holiday. Every year after that, even after I'm gone, they'll get a small check from the play it gets around the Fourth.
My kids are deep. My daughter plays music. My son, Black Jack, doesn't forget anything.
Me and my wife watch laser discs, and I collect old computers. And one of my regular models is a 1993 computer with Windows 98 on it. I just love old technology, and I don't know what you would call that. I'm just stuck in 1991, '92.
I won't say I'm analog. I'm not like Jack White. I'm more like 1991.
My generation is so tied up in television, computers, and video games. When we were born, MTV was already there. It was normal.
The biggest misconception my whole life is that I'm rich, that I had all this money from my dad, which I did not.
My favorite bands are Hank Williams Jr. and Led Zeppelin. When it's rock, it's '70s rock, and when it's country, it's '70s country. For me, it's the grit and dirt of music that I love so much.
It took me a little while to get sorrow under the belt enough to understand country music's lyrics and strengths.
I'm usually pretty punctual. I'm not one to like to be late. When I was younger, I was the guy who'd leave the house early if I had to get somewhere and drive around for a while until it got to be time to show up.
