Zitat des Tages von Darius Rucker:
Remember the Stax label and how if you liked one record, you liked all the others as well? You don't talk to a lot of people who tell you how much they love their record label. I don't care how many records they sell.
When you're doing a Motley Crue tribute record, you can ask anyone to do it, and they're not going to say no.
With rock, you can write about anything. There are rock songs I still don't know what they're singing about, but you want to get up and dance.
I can't live without my family, golf, and football.
That's one of my pet peeves. People always want to put something into a category - this one or that one. You know, a great song is a great song.
I'm lucky my wife is a strong woman. She's one of the stronger people I've ever met. It's hard for me to be away, but I know my home life is fine because my wife is there.
I'd work with Charles Kelley anytime. I'd go do a 'Pancho and Lefty' record with Charles. He is class, man.
I work hard to let my wife know how much I love her. I try to do that every day.
The music I like or the football teams I like or the food I eat has nothing to do with me being black.
My family lives a pretty normal life.
I always say, no matter what happens to me as a black man in country music, I can handle it if Charley Pride could handle all the stuff he went through.
Marriage is not easy. You have to decide to work. That's what it really comes down to: two people deciding to stay together or not.
If I did a show and didn't do Hootie songs, I would be ripping people off.
If my music career was my golf game, I'd be playing for about 26 people tonight somewhere.
It was important to me to find a label that wouldn't back out after a first single. Everyone's so used to hearing me with Hootie, they're going to be skeptical.
Country music's so about the nuclear family and living the southern lifestyle and everything.
I've known Tiger since he was 18. Tiger is a great guy. I am so happy for him right now.
I make records so I can go on tour. There's nothing else. I love to go out and play for people.
I love making music, and I love touring. I love that I get to wake up and play music. I don't like being away from my wife and kids.
I remember my brother was always a jerk to me. One time, he bought Jimi Hendrix's 'Smash Hits,' and he gave it to me because he didn't like it, thinking it was a punishment.
If you hear a song and you like it, you like it.
I live for the NFL. I watch so much of it.
I expect to make a career out of country music.
We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family.
I always tell people, the first time I heard 'She Talks To Angels,' those lyrics did something to me.
We raised almost 2 million dollars at the last golf tournament that can be used for minority scholarships and Junior Golf programs. The payoff for the work we do is so much more valuable than the work we actually do for it.
I believe that one of the reasons I get to play golf all over the world is because of the barriers that Lee Elder broke down. I just think he's amazing.
I think the people who are sitting in their living room doing those, 'Let's take country music back' blogs and all that stuff, that's crazy to me. No one's saying that about rock & roll, and no one sounded like the Beatles since 1960. No one says that about R&B, and no one sounded like the Commodores since 1970.
We got to do a few things with President Clinton. To be invited to Washington again to play with Ashanti and all those other cool people there in front of President Bush and the rest of the world feels awesome. I'm really looking forward to going.
With 'Wagon Wheel,' I loved the visual it painted, and it's a song I can truly say I look forward to performing every night.
I think I made records, since early on, that people wanted to listen to.
Everybody wants to have a good time, especially at a concert. That's why everybody goes.
Billy Graham isn't about politics - Billy Graham is about God.
One of my pet peeves is when people think that pop guys go country when they can't make it in pop anymore.
I'm such a lover of golf, and I've been at the Masters a couple times, and I've been so blessed to get to play there.
No doubt about it, country is a much more family-friendly business than pop.
