First time on the radio: |
"I had just gotten my driver's license, and I drove to the station at 2 a.m. and handed the DJ my tape. He took it, but told me that they might never play it and I was crushed. But as I was driving away, they played it. I couldn't believe it, I had to pull my truck over. I have to say, at that point, there was no doubt what I was going to do with my life." |
