Abstract
Music, Everyday hear songs from people who make hits, Friend received honor of best country song of all time, Lots of songs that he had never heard of, Name of the titles are quite odd, “Its raining boners”, Sonny was supposed to be at the Music festival he went to, Sonny son has problems with depression, A lot of songs he wrote he never showed to the others, Meant John Conley’s manager, Most of his songs weren’t up to the level needed, Only a few of his songs were actually cut, Was writing more with brain than with his heart, Started writing the truth when going through a slump, “Screw being clever be real”, John wrote true and honestly when young, Went over and talked to John Cline, Music needs to be real and from the heart to feel it, Songs were different and Nashville wasn’t ready for it
