Everybody wants to have a good time, especially at a concert. That’s why everybody goes. Darius Rucker Read Quote
If it wasn’t for Kenny Rogers, I don’t think I would be in country music. He was that guy when I was a kid – his music and ‘Hee Haw’ made me perk my ears up and made me say, ‘What is this?

I’d be lying to say I’ve not experienced a lot of racism in my life; it’s very much alive. I don’t let it bother me. I couldn’t be the singer I am if I didn’t let it go. Darius Rucker Read Quote
