Frank [Sinatra] sang to you, not at you, like so many pop singers today. Even singers of standards. I never wanted to be a singer that sings at somebody. I’ve always wanted to sing to somebody.

There’s no question that O.J. Simpson had been a substitute white man in America. He had gained honorary white status. He was not viewed by many white Americans as black.

I don’t know where Hank Aaron will break Ruth’s record but I can tell you one thing - ten years from the day he hits it three million people will say they were there Picture Quote #1

Oh, I think country has changed tremendously. I think country has totally changed. Country music when I was a kid was Hank Williams. If you put Hank and Elvis together, there wasn’t that musical difference. But as the Beatles showed up and the English invasion, I think country music got pretty far away from rock n’ roll Picture Quote #1

Hank Paulson, the happy capitalist warrior who spent his life pursuing and defending free markets, is now the biggest interventionist Treasury secretary we’ve had since the Great Depression Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t want to cover a Hank Williams song in a country-western way. It doesn’t occur to me instinctually to re-create productions. I’m interested in re-creating songs. Putting different clothes on them Picture Quote #1

There is a great book out called ‘Everything I Needed to Learn I Learned in Kindergarten,’ and I believe that everything I ever needed to learn on guitar was in my first two years of hungry learning: Scotty Moore, Hank Marvin, Chet Atkins, Lenny Breau, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley Picture Quote #1

Trying to sneak a pitch past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak a sunrise past a rooster Picture Quote #1
