Each kind of generation of bands forgets how they got here. Waylon Jennings came out and they’re like, ‘That’s not Patsy Cline.’ And everyone panicked, like, ‘I don’t know what happened to country music, but this isn’t it.’ Kristian Bush Read Quote
I believe that melody is such a lost part of music and country music. People are either scared of it or not using all the colors that are available. Kristian Bush Read Quote
As soon as I saw tattoos as a way to tell your story, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I totally get it.’ So I got my first tattoo a couple of years ago, and it’s the word ‘hope’ on my left arm. It has a couple of dots at the end for each of my kids. Kristian Bush Read Quote
My father was an officer in the Army, and my grandfather served in World War II, and I am so proud of their service. I’ll always do whatever I can to support our troops. Kristian Bush Read Quote
When I got my record deal at Atlantic, at the time, ‘indie’ wasn’t a style of music: it was a kind of label. And I think, eventually, the bands that ended up on those labels began to be branded as ‘indie bands,’ and then it became a genre. Kristian Bush Read Quote
You find your limits by going out and trying. We’re just like anybody else in any other job. You just can’t work 90 hour weeks. You can’t do it. We can’t sing seven days a week. Kristian Bush Read Quote
I spent 25 years clearly understanding that I’m not gonna meet Bono or the Edge. But then it happened at the Grammys when we were all backstage and I just about fell out of my shoes. Kristian Bush Read Quote
I try to spend a lot of time thinking of what it is I want to say, and how I want to say it. Mainly because I know what it’s like as a fan to hear music that is just exactly what I needed. Kristian Bush Read Quote
I’ve tried to start my kids on ‘Doctor Who,’ but they’re just not there yet. Someone had given me these TARDIS stick-em notes, so I gave them to Tucker, and he finally put them all over his locker. I’m like, ‘You’re the coolest fifth grader, ever!’ Kristian Bush Read Quote
The first time I toured the U.K. was in the early ’90s with Billy Pilgrim, so I know how much the people there love music. Kristian Bush Read Quote
