“My dad was an auto mechanic, but we moved to Fort Worth, where he work...” — Roy Orbison Quote

My dad was an auto mechanic, but we moved to Fort Worth, where he worked in defense, building B-24s.

Every once in awhile, the world will push up an Elvis Presley or a Beatles. But that's really outside the realm of show business.

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds, and mars.

I started using sunglasses in Alabama. I was going to do a show with Patsy Cline and Bobby Vee, and I left my clear glasses on the plane. I only had the sunshades, and I was quite embarrassed to go onstage with them, but I did it.

I was stuck with the dark glasses. They took all these pictures that went around the world. I guess once you become successful, you don't want to change anything too drastically.

The Tea Party movement started in late 2008 as a rejection of President George W. Bush's bailout of the auto industry and Obama's excessive stimulus spending. It evolved into a movement opposed to ObamaCare, and grassroots efforts were employed to find qualified political candidates who could beat incumbents.

Progressive changed the industry when we introduced our Comparison Rater Experience and showed you auto rates of other companies next to our own - even if our rates weren't the lowest. That level of transparency was unprecedented.

Most of my friends - when I was five, six, seven years old - their dads were working in an auto plant in Detroit until 5:30, and then they were sat in rush hour. They weren't around as much. My dad finished at three o'clock, so he was just around more.
