I've been thinking about all the stuff he says and the way it impacts me so i thought it would be an awesome idea to share them since he does say so many inspiring things. I actually have a word document with all mine.

I've got like 2.


"See where I grew up, you had a goal, or you had aspirations that were higher than everyone else’s, you were looked at very funny, don’t get me wrong, if you're happy where you are, that’s fine, It's your life and nobody else's, but I doubt that anyone here, which is every single one of you, I doubt that there isn't something, a dream, a goal that you want be more than anything in the world, and if you want it enough and believe in yourself, you could go after and a achieve that goal.”

That one is paraphrased thanks to some jerk screaming just so you couldn't hear him.

"They talk about respect of walking into a record store, and I remember as a kid, waiting all week for it to be Saturday just so I could go to the record store. Sometimes I knew what I wanted to buy, sometimes it was just a thrill of the hunt. 'What could i find next?' 'What did i not know about?' I'm not going to be too sentimental but you know what, the most beautiful thing about music as a whole, is that it's not biased, it doesnt care whether you're young or you're old, it doesn't care about the color of your skin, it means absolutely nothing, whether you're a man or a woman, hell it couldn't care what your religion was. It's all in what you want it to be. All the landscapes you have in your mind. Now there's a great movie, called almost famous, and there's a great line in there,' If you ever get sad, if you're ever feeling lonely, if you're ever down, all you gotta do is go to your record store, and go hang out with your friends'


Also Keep in mind neither are exact. Off just a slight bit. Correct it if I missed something important.

My most favourite quote is the one from Houston, the first time he dedicated "Shed Some Light" to Eugene. It was special and touching and had me in tears. Cindi understands why.

At the Orpheum in Madison, right before they played IYOK, Brent said, "Behind every good man is a strong woman." And then he dedicated the song to all the woman in the room. What woman wouldn't love that statement

He also sang something new, I had never heard, right before Burning Bright. I really wasn't able to make out any of the lyrics??? Probably because I was drinking that terrible spotted cow pie!!!! That's some nasty shit, gave me the worst headache in the world

Has anybody else heard it?

In Denver he asked the audience, "who here thinks its cheesy when a man writes a love song for their woman?" A few people raised their hands which then he said, "those of you that raised your hands will not be getting laid tonight!" It was right before IYOK and it was awesome

Ahaha that's great! He used to think it was cheesy until the song came together so perfectly.

on an xm interview he said someone once told him "you don't choose the music it chooses you". Kinda relate that to me becoming such a shindown junkie
