Thanks Tracy – this recap exactly matches my notes. I did go back and watch the Nellie Connally interview after he talked about it. And, I highly recommend folks check out the Ted Nugent episode if for nothing else than to catch the look on Evan’s face!

Tracy, thanks for posting this. I had to leave about 15 minutes early so missed most of the tips. Evan was great, what a coup for AWC!

Thanks for the comments, Cory and Jason!

Cory, you’re right about the Jerry Hall interview. And I know he mentioned others that he truly disliked (a certain presidential candidate, a certain writer who was “tin-foil hat crazy”). I loved hearing all those stories!

Great post! I recall he said that Jerry Hall was the interview he wasn’t sure he could get through…after 12 minutes, he was out of interest! My other favorite takeaway was: ~”I go in knowing the first and last questions I’m going to ask, and nothing else.”
