"damn, ray. what's the deal with the fashion statement of gnarly full tilt..er, full tilt gnarlienes you got going on?""I have decided that my final days on this ball I shall go out looking like an old viking who has won many battles and awaits Valhalla. not cuttin' my hair and showing off the gray in my whiskers. I shall continue to wear my guitar and play through an amp as a sword and shield metaphor as long as I can..or until my mortgage is paid off (then nobody will ever see me again)."what? you'd bail on performing if you didn't have a mortgage payment? what about your vow you took at age 41 to see what you could contribute to the universe with your songs rather that what you could get from writing songs..writing not thinking about the future of what you're writing.?""that was me? I made that commitment to the universe back then? damn. what happened? okay. I shall continue to do what I do..write songs and sing 'em at venues that'll have me even after the adobe is paid off. yeah. that's what I'll do. and I will not care about getting cuts by big shots who sell a lot of records. I don't really write what seems to appeal to country (whatever that is) radio anyway.. the Eric co-write was cool cause he liked the lines I threw out and used them.""so, its settled. keep the fire stoked and pour gasoline on it ever now and then.""oh, okay. but I gonna go with the old viking look..except I doubt they wore suede Beatle boots and a polka dot bandana. yes. all is fine in my head and heart.""that my boy. you didn't even mention the merch page or the website..raywylie.com. ""yes. I am a changed man. no more hustling or grifting by mentioning raywylie.com here.""how you gonna sign off?""the usual."yours truly,raywylie.co..."stop! nice try." ... See MoreSee Less
