At first I didn't dig country.

I had to make a drastic change at Sun Records and I didn't really appreciate country music until I went there.

I do dig the White Stripes. I like the record they have out now.

I think a guy who's had just the right amount of booze can sing the blues a hell of a lot better than a guy who is stone sober.

As a matter of fact, we put it down because we wanted to be jazz pickers.

If you think the country is a bastion only of nasty tendencies and racism and oppression, that is anti-American.
