holding back what’s on his mind. And if the millions of albums he’s
sold are any indication, when Trace talks, people listen. Now, in A
Personal Stand, Trace Adkins delivers his maverick manifesto on
politics, personal responsibility, fame, parenting, being true to
yourself, hard work, and the way things oughta be.
In his inimitable pull-no-punches style, Trace gives us the state
of the union as he sees it, from the lessons of his boyhood in
small-town Louisiana to what he’s learned headlining concerts
around the world. Trace has worked oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico,
been shot in the heart, been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, and
braved perhaps the greatest challenge of all: being the father of
five daughters. And shaped by these experiences, he’s sounding
off.
? I’m incredibly frustrated with the state of American politics. If
there were a viable third party, I’d seriously consider joining
it.
? If anybody wonders who the good guys are and who the bad guys are
in this world, just look at the way we teach our children as
opposed to the way the fundamentalist Muslims teach their
children.
? Organized labor now exists for the sake of organized labor, and
not for the workers it once protected.
? I believe the easiest way to solve the illegal immigration
enforcement problem is to go after the employers who hire illegal
aliens.
? As a society, we’re unwilling to sacrifice our luxuries and our
conveniences in order to conserve. We won’t change until we’re
forced to.
? The war on terror is like herpes. People can live with it, but
it’ll flare up from time to time.
Brash, ballsy, persuasive, and controversial, A Personal Stand
isn’t just the story of Trace Adkins’s life; it’s the story of what
life can teach all of us.
