I like it because on the one hand, it's sad and brutally honest, but on the other hand, it's pretty funny.

A lot of people today might not know that he had so much success as a Country musician, but people in the business certainly know. I think the reason they never inducted him into the Country Hall of Fame is because of something he did years ago, and it wasn't even that serious. He was playing at the Grand Ole Opry and he was given two rules: no Rock Music and no four-letter words. He played a bunch of Rock tunes and then said to everyone, "I'm a Rock 'n Roll motherfucker!" That was his last performance at the Opry. You know how prudish the Country Music people can be, and I think they've never forgiven him for that.
