And I think it's safe to say that the single very impressive figure to me was Merle Haggard.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Willie Nelson, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard and Keith Whitley - guys like that were huge influences.
If there ever was a poet for the working class Billy Joe Shaver and Merle Haggard would be my nomination.
My Mt. Rushmore of hero worship would include Ralph Waldo Emerson, Marcus Aurelius, Frank Sinatra and Barry White.
Evangelicals overwhelmingly voted for Ronald Reagan - not because he was the most religious candidate, but he possessed the quality evangelicals felt like was most important, and that is leadership.
I think Pat Robertson is a terrific fellow.
I really like Alan Jackson, in Country Music. I think he's really very, very talented along with George Jones, and Merle Haggard, the same old favorites.
Jesus Christ to me, is probably the most compassionate and revolutionary thinker of all time.
I'm sure that Jesus was an incredible person.
If there's anyone in my lifetime who deserves honor it is Billy Graham. I think he is the most significant figure since the apostles.
My music comes from country music. Merle Haggard is God, and I do believe that. I'm not too tuned in to country music. I don't know who Brooks and Dunn are. I like Shania Twain, though!
