Nashville is the business center. They forget that the bottom line of it all is still the song.
Dealing with those personalities and the people who run this music thing has been most challenging. It's hard to really communicate things to people who run a business yet forget the nature of the business. They only look at the bottom line and the financial return, you know, they forget what it is they're packaging. It's art.
Nashville used to have more integrity than just looking at the bottom line.
My album was recorded in Nashville. It used to be all about "We're from Texas, forget Nashville," well you'll never hear me say that. Nashville isn't bad as long as you're true to yourself.
We need an honest bottom line. Today that bottom line is vastly subsidized. If anyone of us were paying the full cost of oil our bottom lines would be very different. If you internalize the cost of oil, look at the cost of the war in the Middle East or the cost of global warming for future generations, if you internalize those external costs and what you pay, that bottom line would look very different, what ever business you are in.
It's still a bottom-line business. You can be out of control, and if they want you, they'll pick you. And you can be a mensch, and if you're not the product they want, you won't get it.
It's something that Cory Morrow said to me a long time ago - "Don't ever forget why Nashville is Nashville. The Opry is there for a reason. Country music lives there. Don't be bitter. And don't ever treat Texas or Nashville like either one isn't important."
It’s not about revenues: the fundamental economics in digital business is scale and margins. The top line has become the bottom line.

I'll never forget when me and Jason Matthews wrote the line, 'Don't be a tape player hater,' in 'Country Man,' I don't think I ever laughed harder. We didn't know where we were gonna put that in a song, but we knew we had to make it into a song. I just remember laughing and being so proud of such a goofy little line.
Filmmaking is a business and at the bottom line people who don't make fiscally responsible decisions end up going into another line of work.
We're probably one of the few Internet dot-com B2Bs business-to-business companies that have improved their bottom line.

My message to business leaders is clear: If you are looking to expand your business and boost the bottom line, there is no better place than Utah to do it.
I truly believe that the combination of a strong top line together with a strong bottom line is what makes for a sustainable business.
It's - everybody's looking at the bottom line all the time, and failure doesn't look good on the bottom line, and yet you don't learn anything without failing.
We need to change society's ordering principle from economic to humanitarian values, from money as the bottom line to love as the bottom line.
