About this listen

The secret lesson Carl Perkins taught me about surviving the music business. Most people would be bitter if Elvis became "The King" using their song. Carl chose something else: lightness.In the early 90s, while I was navigating the "Hat Act" craze of Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson, I had a chance airport hang with Carl. It was a masterclass in perspective.
In this episode:

The "Blue Suede Shoes" tragedy and the car crash that changed history.
Carl's ability to laugh at career dips and industry trends.
