Billy Joe. Writing to me is a release of tension and I’m proud to be a writer and I like to teach people in a certain way. I write better driving down the road.

really good interview. Sounded like Billy Joe really enjoyed it too. You got him telling stories I don't think he told before. Like grading Townes' songs. That's funny right there. It just felt so nice to hear him talk in a very relaxed nice way. Gonna check out your show for other interviews. If you asked Billy Joe what he listened to on the radio he said ,Mexican music because he couldn't understand the words and it wouldn't influence him. Same reason why he didn't want people to give him songs, he didn't want to be influenced and didn't want anybody accusing him of unknowingly stealing a lyric. anyway really enjoyed it there.
