"Rock N Roll is not dead. The Country outlaw is not dead... for as long as there are people trying to tell us what to listen to, trying to serve us fast food music with the purpose of financial gain, as opposed to communicating the human condition in hopes of sharing & coming together to build strength through acknowledgement of a shared joy, struggle, emotion... For as long as those people are out there, who put themselves before their fellow man - we will need ROCK N ROLL... we will need COUNTRY OUTLAWS to hold the seams of society together, while the most selfish offenders of all - accuse us of destroying it." -Val Halla
