One thing is that I wasn't getting booked that well, and they had control over who got the awards, they had control over who sold. And they really did not want Willie or me, either one, to have a hit record. They wanted the money, but they didn't want us to be the ones. ↗

So I'm not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be. ↗
