I grew up in cattle country-that's why I became a vegetarian. Meat stinks, for the animals, the environment, and your health.
I'm also alternative because of Canada - there's something romantic about being Canadian. We're a relatively unpopulated, somewhat civilized, and clean and resourceful country. I always push the fact that I'm Canadian.
Country music was a part of my life. Now it isn't. We had a good relationship, really, but we wanted each other at arm's length. The people in Nashville didn't want to be responsible for my looks or my actions. But they sure did like the listeners I brought.
I never get tired of exploring Americana or country music, and I always have a little bit of a crooner in me that never seems to go away.
