I know every Skynyrd and about all Johnny Cash songs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never met Johnny Cash personally, but I feel like I did because I listened to so much of his music, and even though he's gone, it's still there: you can go pull a vinyl record out and hear his personal thoughts and his voice and feel connected to him.
I think it's just that Skynyrd songs are timeless.
For 'The Lobster Kings,' I listened to a lot of Johnny Cash. And it makes its way into the book.
Johnny Cash was a rebel, not only just in the musical sense, but he was somebody who was for the people, and an advocate for labor, for workers, for prisoners, people who have been trapped by the criminal justice system.
I was lucky to be with Johnny... he taught me a lot about fame.
There are a million good tunes.
I have a whole lot of songs.
You have people ask us how you get through all the stuff that Skynyrd's been through, and I think it's the music; it really is.
I have hundreds of songs.
Not every song of Lynyrd Skynyrd's was a single, but songs like 'Tuesday's Gone' and 'The Ballad of Curtis Loew' and 'Made in the Shade,' 'I Need You,' people learned those songs from the radio because radio played albums, not just singles.
