What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.

Just because i write some songs about bad women, though, that doesn't mean i hate women. i've written songs that show great love and respect for women too. songs that talk about strong, upstanding women and their pain. i have women working on my music. they understand where i'm coming from. so does my mama. i always play my music for her before it comes out. why do you think i wrote "dear mama"? i wrote it for my mama because i love her and i felt i owed her something deep.

I was a teletype operator in the army, so that's where i learned to type. one day, i went downstairs to see if i could still type - i hadn't done it for four or five years after the war. so i typed out a page and i showed it to my wife and she said, "where did you get this?" i said i wrote it. "you wrote this?" it was something very funny. i went and wrote another page, another couple of pages, and by the time i was finished i had 13 little short stories, humorous short stories.

When the spirit came to moses, the plagues came upon egypt, and he had power to destroy men's lives; when the spirit came upon elijah, fire came down from heaven; when the spirit came upon gideon, no man could stand before him; and when it came upon joshua, he moved around the city of jericho and the whole city fell into his hands; but when the spirit came upon the son of man, he gave his life; he healed the broken-hearted.

Read this and thought of you: through joy and through sorrow, i wrote. through hunger and through thirst, i wrote. through good report and through ill report, i wrote. through sunshine and through moonshine, i wrote. what i wrote it is unnecessary to say. ~ edgar allen poe

When we have found how the nucleus of atoms is built up we shall have found the greatest secret of all — except life. we shall have found the basis of everything — of the earth we walk on, of the air we breathe, of the sunshine, of our physical body itself, of everything in the world, however great or however small — except life.
