We've been touring over two years now and tour about eight months out of the year. After we hit Brookings, we're going back to Texas to restock and rest for a little,

I hit everything so hard this year. I had the biggest tour I've ever done, I had a record to finish that was real important to me, and, of course, I had something new in my personal life, and I was trying to do that, too. It really ended up being too much. At some point, I just got exhausted. I'd go from the road to the studio and back to the road, and it was that cycle all summer.

It's hard to tell where one tour ends and the next begins. I'm generally touring most of any year. I'm just generally out there doing it.

We find ourselves in a much better position than we did last year touring because then we had only a certain amount of songs to draw upon, ... When we played for an hour, we had to play almost everything we knew.

the White House remains willing to cooperate with the committee, as we have over the past eight months, and to provide information that is responsive to the committee's legitimate oversight and investigative concerns.

We did not bail out at six, eight, 10 months. We finished the year. We accomplished what we set out to do.
