I loved the fact that you played yourself in Don't Trust the B. Would you consider it an accomplishment to have gotten famous enough to be able to play yourself, and would you be interested in doing so again?

Also, what's your opinion on wearing white before Easter? Should people give up on tradition or embrace it for the order that it provides?

How do you find a balance between leather that is soft to the touch but won't wear out quickly?

How can you just be out there, sacrificing your time to serve those who are in need and showing your love to the people least likely to have it? Shouldn't you be yelling about fire and brimstone and hating gays like the strawman pastors the people on the internet like to talk about?

I should start by saying that the women in country music are doing an amazing job these days.

What's the deal with the men though? To me, it looks like the record labels heard the complaints that people had about country getting too pop and decided to create this "neo-outlaw" movement to take advantage of people desperate for country that wasn't the feminized Keith Urban/Rascal Flatts pop-country that had filled the radio. Even with the "manlier" image, this "new" sound is still completely devoid of substance, and I don't believe for a second that any one of the guys singing could so much as change a flat tire.

Do guys like Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, and Luke Bryan really buy into their own hype? I mean, Blake can't seriously get up on stage and sing, "Boys 'Round Here," with a straight face, can he?

I lose faith that there's any justice in the world every time I think about the fact that Luke Bryan's lady-jeans get more mainstream attention than Turnpike Troubadours or Jason Isbell.

Are these guys in on the joke, or does Colt Ford really think he belongs on country radio over Leroy Virgil?

(I realize that there's a good chance you can't answer this publicly, but if you PM me, I promise I won't go posting your message around the internet.)
