They were like, all right, we'll just wait until you're ready. And so I was like, all right, I'll do it. Three or four months probably went by and then I started working on it. And I did, you know, reach out to his manager. There was no response at all. I reached out in multiple different ways. And that didn't surprise me. That's the way I thought this was going to go.

And so I started reaching out to other people. Most of the people really close to him weren't even getting back to me. His former band members would get back to me. He was like, you know, so that was kind of like the level of people I was talking to. Ex-lawyer, former band member, former manager, people like that.

I don't think he was actually pissed at Rolling Stone at that point. And he told me this. We had this discussion when I finally did meet him. He was just like, oh, I just don't need it. And to some extent, he's correct. I mean, he operates in a completely different media universe from Rolling Stone these days. Rolling Stone's readers are not really his fans anymore anymore.

Right. So I basically not only reported, I wrote this whole story without him. I wrote the whole thing. It was done. It was completely done. And then I think as we were getting ready to edit it, they said, oh, why don't you reach out to him one more time? And I was like, eh. Like in my head, I was like, I'm done with this story. So I was really kind of like, fine, I'll do it.

And I went and I reached out to his manager one more time. And this time they got right back to me and was like, yeah, you know, why don't you come and meet us at Bob's house for a 90-minute interview? This was maybe two days away or something. And I was like, oh, OK, I guess this is happening.

I think the main thing was, is in that three or four months, they had announced that he was doing this Rock the Country tour. What up, everybody? I also wanted to pump up the rock and rodeo, which is this Friday at AT&T Stadium. He had put together this tour of sort of small towns in the South that, you know, he was going to bring this tour to.

And so at this point, he was in sort of promotion mode. So I think that was part of it. So, like, the other part is that I think... Deep down, he does want the approval of the Rolling Stones of the world. Like you were saying, he's thin-skinned, but he really cares what people think about him. And he really wants that acceptance. Oh, well, they're paying attention to me again, at least.
