All those people – like, talk about the craziest place I ever worked and the craziest people I ever met was this little place called Perfect Air in Marion, North Carolina.
And it was this commercial air conditioning factory, which is, I think, closed now, but –
They didn't pay very well.
And so everyone they hired was either people that had criminal backgrounds who couldn't get jobs elsewhere or idiots who dropped out of high school and couldn't work elsewhere like me.
And so I was 18 years old working in this place with people who are mostly in their 50s and 60s.
But you want to talk about being exposed to just a whole nother world of people like and just the stories and the just...
Those people are far more interesting than many of the people that we consider to be celebrities.
Like most people who are celebrities are just pretty boring and airheaded and don't really even know what real life is about.
They're pretty unrelatable to the rest of the world.
And so it would be really cool.
I mean, that's the whole reason that I want to go out and do these shows in places that haven't had music in them in 10 years, because those people like that is America to me.
you know, how many people in Pittsburgh have been an hour outside of Pittsburgh?
And even in Virginia, if you lived in Northern Virginia and you drive two and a half hours Southwest, you're in a whole nother planet, like the people, the accents, the culture.
And so I feel driven in the same way.
Like I would love to, I would love to find a way to, to try to bridge that cultural gap, to make those people relevant and to make, because they are like some of the most, and like, and it's funny because we emulate a lot of those people, like
you know, modern country music is a bunch of people emulating those people, you know?
intricate like nuanced problems in the physical world so coal mining oil rigs like you mentioned welding that's a fascinating line of work and and those are trades that are in many cases dying because we don't because they aren't popular in culture anymore for everything from agricultural to plumbing and electrical it's like those are all areas i think if you were to go out and talk to some of those people and shed light on it it would
Like you could change the you could change the entire landscape in America of how of how it's perceived and like and make it cool, you know?
This was another one of the things early on that I had an idea about and I thought was getting done and it wasn't that I've got to go back and try to figure out is doing...
prison shows and doing rehab shows and all that.
