Brooks And Dunn Say Nashville Is Not As Friendly As Everyone Thinks
Brooks and Dunn were recently interviewed by Theo Von.
It’s a long interview, but one highlight is when Theo asked them if they ever got any advice from other duos in the Country Music industry.
And Ronnie Dunn was quick to answer with an emphatic, “No,” then added…
“As friendly as they say the world of Country music is, it’s so darn competitive . . . Everybody hates one another. They act like they don’t on TV.”
All Kix Brooks could do was sit back and laugh. Then Theo asked, “You think people are really competitive, then?” And Ronnie said, “Oh heck yeah, big time competitive.”
Then Ronnie shared another great tidbit.
“One of my favorite things is Dolly Parton in an interview years and years ago, she said, ‘Oh, honey. There’s room for everybody.’ No there’s not. You wanna get down to it. No there’s not.”
So, either Dolly sees the Country world with rose-coloured glasses, or Ronnie is a bit jaded.
