I give up on pop music. As far as a commercial entity, as far as pop music goes, I quit; I absolutely throw in the towel. I can't handle it. I can't do it. I can't be what they need you to be.

People respond to any good you can do in music.

Critics don't sell records, unfortunately. No one reads what they write anyway.

The Delmore Brothers is hit music - very, very popular - and it still retains that rural flavor and simplicity. I always think of it as family music, really, because families sang it.

If something grooves and you like the sound, then that's all you need.
