Camper. 00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:19.200 So when I chose that song to perform, 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.600 I was doing an album about lyrics and literary material. 00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:27.000 So I chose. 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.500 Mr. Tambourine Man as a cry for help. 00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:33.800 I'm not sleepy then and there is no place. 00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:38.700 I'm going to and shows the literary material that a Segway 00:01:38.700 --> 00:01:41.700 into it. The 00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:46.100 Literary material and I may climb to no Great Heights, 00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:47.200 but I will time alone. 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.000 So he was a guy who is doing this alone. 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:50.300 And without the help of trucks. 00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:52.700 That was my connection to do. 00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:55.400 Mr. Tambourine Man, without the connection. 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.000 You don't know what I'm doing, which is for real. 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.300 What's he doing? 00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:07.600 What's the country song? 00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:14.500 You see the definitions are somewhat obtuse. 00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:16.600 For example on this album. 00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:21.800 Bill. There is the country song called the so far from the movie. 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.400 My marriage has been canceled. 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:29.000 So, and my show, Brad, Paisley and sings the song, 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.800 will I do my but it became a country song goes, 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:44.200 Brad Paisley. Did it so far from became a country song? 00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:48.900 And I don't know whether we thought of it is because one of the 00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:55.000 problems of this album a bill is that robbed the poor and I would 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.700 work a song from lyrics or do we send it to the Damned we 00:02:58.700 --> 00:03:01.200 live and then I would do it. 00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:05.800 But what was the character of the song In some cases? 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.500 But in some cases, the song became what the artist we asked 00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:13.500 to accompany me was. 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.300 Years and years ago, my kids were in love with the Jonas Brothers. 00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:26.500 They were on tour. 00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:29.400 So figure out how long ago that was, 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.700 and they want to go see the Jonas Brothers. 00:03:32.700 --> 00:03:35.800 So because I have a little bowl, 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.900 got tickets. If you want, I'll meet you at was there we got to 00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:42.000 meet. So we got to meet the Jonas brother and I meant JoJo, 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.000 just not realizing that many, many years later. 00:03:47.700 --> 00:03:52.000 Joe Jonas would hear some of the songs that the three of us and 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.900 want to be a part of it. 00:03:54.900 --> 00:04:06.800 Brought it from his label to Republic which brought it to Universal. 00:04:11.700 --> 00:04:18.300 You know, in the old days before the shot of projecting 00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:25.100 background stuff like that or whole sets frequently in the middle 00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:27.100 of nothing you're in front of a green screen porch, 00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:31.300 baby 360°. I've done those projecting all over here in the middle 00:04:31.300 --> 00:04:38.100 of nowhere. And yet, when you see the Andes are in a Roman 00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:41.300 Empire, the movie sets can be marvelously. 00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:44.500 Wonderful complex, taken months to make. 00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:46.800 This set was different. 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.000 From any other said, I did not, 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.700 I vaguely remember walking on to it. 00:04:52.700 --> 00:04:57.100 I'm bleeding after I look on my God. 00:04:57.100 --> 00:04:58.300 This is going to be my home, 00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:00.400 at least this year. 00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:03.400 Wow. It was all in wonder. 00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:11.600 I meant Leonard on the set of Star Trek when the cast for the 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.300 called to start feeling like I do remember vividly him saying 00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:20.000 when it was a fight between a stage fight between characters, 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:31.200 except, you know, I wouldn't do that anytime any pinch me on the 00:05:31.200 --> 00:05:35.500 shoulder and I is a reaction fell to the ground. 00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:38.200 Everybody laughed and we left the key in the pitch. 00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:45.200 I went on stage in front of 15,000 people, 00:05:45.200 --> 00:05:48.600 not knowing what I was going to say having over the material 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:53.100 whatsoever convention in the eye, that was a frightening 00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:55.500 experience and took many experiences. 00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:56.900 Like it's become accustomed to it. 00:05:56.900 --> 00:06:01.300 That was I think the first or the second cuz they had a person 00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:03.600 but hey, I'm a serious actor. 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:04.600 I don't do that kind of thing. 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.400 And then I heard they were fifteen thousand people waiting 00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:09.100 as, okay.
