So I got interested in singing and I have always used my voice. Not professionally as much, but around the living room, the campfire, that kind of thing.
I was introduced to country music around a campfire on a farm.
You get guys around a campfire, and they start telling their stories. That's the fellowship that they want to be in.
I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics.
I think of myself... as a troubadour, a village storyteller, the guy in the shadows of the campfire.
