All Music Comes From God.

It Just Took The Right Time. I Was Fully Confident That I Was Going To See Sam Phillips And To Record For Him That When I Called Him, I Thought, I'm Going To Get On Sun Records. So I Called Him And He Turned Me Down Flat. Then Two Weeks Later, I Got Turned Down Again. He Told Me Over The Phone That He Couldn't Sell Gospel Music So - As It Was Independent, Not A Lot Of Money.

I've Always Explored Various Areas Of Society. And I Love The Young People. And I Had An Empathy For Prisoners And Did Concerts For Them Back When I Thought That It Would Make A Difference - You Know? - That They Really Were There To Be Rehabilitated.

So I Simply Don't Buy The Concept Of "generation X" As The "lost Generation." I See Too Many Good Kids Out There, Kids Who Are Ready And Willing To Do The Right Thing, Just As Jack Was. Their Distractions Are Greater, Though. There's No More Simple Life With Simple Choices For The Young.

When I Think About Country Music, I Think About America.
