I Became Stereotyped.

You Know, Music Is Sex. It's A Sensual Driving Mode That Affects People If It's Played A Certain Way.

I Met Leo Fender, Who Is The Guru Of All Amplifiers, And He Gave Me A Stratocaster. He Became A Second Father To Me.

As A Little Kid I Had A Girlfriend, And Her Boyfriend Used To Beat Me Up, So Then I Used To Sing These Songs, And That's What It's All About. Country Music Is All About Your Heart And Your People And Things Like That.

Every Time I Went Into The Studio Some Engineer Tried To Impress Me With How They're Going To Capture My Sound With All Kinds Of Tricks. But They Limited The Sound And Never Allowed Me To Play How I Felt.

People Just Loved The Sound Because I Kept It Simple.
