Country Music Has The Great Stories.

The Music Was Thunder And Joy. Lightning Bolts Of Happiness And Praise, Foot-stomping, Dance-shouting, Good-feeling Singing From The Soul.

I’ve Learned To Live With Rage. In Some Ways, It’s My Rage That Keeps Me Going. Without It, I Would Have Been Whipped Long Ago. With It, I Got A Lot More Songs To Sing.

Even As A Little Child, I've Always Had That Comedian Kind Of Attitude.

My Mother Always Wanted Me To Be Glamorous. When I Thought About That, It Really Fired Me Up, And Once I Lost All Those Pounds, I Started To Feel Really Good About Myself.

It's The Same Thing Now. When I Go Onstage The Young People Scream And Holler As Much As The Older Generation.
