I was still nervous when we started to plan the thing. All the artists were supposed to share the same instruments and amps so we could go from one set to the next without a lag, but Rosemary told me she’d seen pictures of [Bond Brothers drummer] Donny Pendle’s brand-new kit and it was custom-made with the Confederate flag on the skins. After I told Jimmy that, he made it very clear at the first rehearsal, so that everybody could hear and take note, that pigs would fly before he sat down behind that particular piece of trash.
