She is because everything is seen through the lens of art. I mean, sometimes it's irritating because I'm like, girl, this ain't art. This is life. But that's how she sees things as an art piece. And it's different. It's really unique. Yes. Yes. Yes.

It felt so normal to me because Johnny was so special. And I just thought everybody accepted. You know, we just always accepted it. And his mother accepted him and my mother accepted him. He was, you know, her favorite grandchild. And so... People respected him because we respected him. Oh, that's such a powerful thing. People respected him because the family respected him.

And my brothers respected him. My brothers were these macho athletes, and my nephews were. But they accepted Johnny. They walked down the street with Johnny and his sharp clothes, and we were proud of him, and so everybody else was. Didn't they try to get him one time to play ball, some kind of ball? Yeah, they made him play basketball. He didn't like it at all. What happened to you two? Same.

Right. They were going to macho him up a bit. But just to protect him, though, it came from a love of protection for him, not from a we're going to beat you down type way. And they left him alone after that. And they was like, Johnny, I'll make the costumes for basketball. But he didn't know how to play basketball.

Yeah. not only the record company, but when I would go to shoots and people wouldn't talk to me or, you know, because I was country and I had this big hair and I never in the early days would do myself up because I was so busy all the time.
