I want to run for the Senate from Tennessee. Not now, but when I'm 50, when music dies down a little bit. I know lots of artists and actors have those delusions of grandeur, but ever since I was a kid, it's been of interest to me.

I don't like to talk about things where you're going to gt one side or the other unhappy. My music has no politics.

Hunting, fishing, drawing, and music occupied my every moment. Cares I knew not, and cared naught about them.
