I am pretty detached from the local music crowd though.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a reason I moved to NYC, and if I listed all the musicians on my list you'd grow weary.
I'm not really a music guy.
The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.
Not everybody in the country-music community is like me - I just happen to be one of the guys that is stereotypical.
I see my fans as music lovers. I really love that. There's no age group or demographic. It's people of all ages and backgrounds. Country people and non-country people. I wanted to make music across the board.
I'm not from a music family at all.
I just couldn't handle people coming on to me with motives other than music.
Music is one of those things that make us feel a little less alone in the world.
I don't think I have ever met a single person who isn't moved by music of some kind.
I don't like being out of the crowd. It's lonely within a group.
