Whatrsquos attracts you to radio Irsquom a fan of the jock When I wake up in the morning and laugh to Gerry House or Kim Leslie I wake up in a great mood Itrsquos more about being with a friend whorsquos getting you to work or getting your morning going Do you remember the first time you heard yourself on the radio I was in Madison WI Mark Grantin was the PD Wersquod just walked out of the station and I remember him putting it on and thinking ldquoOkay that sounds too fastrdquo That was back when radio would sometimes speed songs up Since then every record Irsquove ever made from ldquoWaiting On Joerdquo on I would always take the tempo back a notch or two I will never record anything that even feels spot-on Irsquom always going to back it up a touch Ever get special treatment based on your career I got stopped by a cop about a month ago I totally ran through a red light with a police car behind me and the cop didnrsquot give me a ticket He was very nice and told me he loves the ldquoWaitinrsquo On Joerdquo video Another guy gave me a ticket in Belle Meade even though he also said he loved ldquoWaitinrsquo On Joerdquo He must have not liked it that much What nasty gas station food looks good to you Whatever it is itrsquos got to be in a package by Frito-Lay Like Cheetos Theyrsquore the best My favorite food in the entire world is bacon I canrsquot eat it as much as I want to but once every two weeks Irsquoll have two bacon sandwiches and wish I could keep going to eat 62 of them

Whatrsquos attracts you to radio Irsquom a fan of the jock When I wake up in the morning and laugh to Gerry House or Kim Leslie I wake up in a great mood Itrsquos more about being with a friend whorsquos getting you to work or getting your morning going Do you remember the first time you heard yourself on the radio I was in Madison WI Mark Grantin was the PD Wersquod just walked out of the station and I remember him putting it on and thinking ldquoOkay that sounds too fastrdquo That was back when radio would sometimes speed songs up Since then every record Irsquove ever made from ldquoWaiting On Joerdquo on I would always take the tempo back a notch or two I will never record anything that even feels spot-on Irsquom always going to back it up a touch Ever get special treatment based on your career I got stopped by a cop about a month ago I totally ran through a red light with a police car behind me and the cop didnrsquot give me a ticket He was very nice and told me he loves the ldquoWaitinrsquo On Joerdquo video Another guy gave me a ticket in Belle Meade even though he also said he loved ldquoWaitinrsquo On Joerdquo He must have not liked it that much What nasty gas station food looks good to you Whatever it is itrsquos got to be in a package by Frito-Lay Like Cheetos Theyrsquore the best My favorite food in the entire world is bacon I canrsquot eat it as much as I want to but once every two weeks Irsquoll have two bacon sandwiches and wish I could keep going to eat 62 of them

Ridersquos Steve Azar gives an industry spin on the artist interviewWhat radio station did you grow up listening to WDMSGreenville MS Obviously growing up in a small town like Greenville radio was a big part of our lives especially back when it was our only option to hear music People were looking forward to what they were going to play next because it was so real and uncalculated It was almost messy
Whatrsquos attracts you to radio Irsquom a fan of the jock When I wake up in the morning and laugh to Gerry House or Kim Leslie I wake up in a great mood Itrsquos more about being with a friend whorsquos getting you to work or getting your morning going Do you remember the first time you heard yourself on the radio I was in Madison WI Mark Grantin was the PD Wersquod just walked out of the station and I remember him putting it on and thinking ldquoOkay that sounds too fastrdquo That was back when radio would sometimes speed songs up Since then every record Irsquove ever made from ldquoWaiting On Joerdquo on I would always take the tempo back a notch or two I will never record anything that even feels spot-on Irsquom always going to back it up a touch Ever get special treatment based on your career I got stopped by a cop about a month ago I totally ran through a red light with a police car behind me and the cop didnrsquot give me a ticket He was very nice and told me he loves the ldquoWaitinrsquo On Joerdquo video Another guy gave me a ticket in Belle Meade even though he also said he loved ldquoWaitinrsquo On Joerdquo He must have not liked it that much What nasty gas station food looks good to you Whatever it is itrsquos got to be in a package by Frito-Lay Like Cheetos Theyrsquore the best My favorite food in the entire world is bacon I canrsquot eat it as much as I want to but once every two weeks Irsquoll have two bacon sandwiches and wish I could keep going to eat 62 of them
