He missed the Letterman show and Dave called him on the phone,on air, and did the interview on the phone, asked him to sing and Charlie did a good version of Mountain of Love, accappela on the phone.

“This wasn’t protection. This was capitulation.”

also smart strategy. what would have happened had charlie’s songs not gotten air time? savvy. business is about winning. i’m glad i got to hear charlie pride.

Another great article. I didn't think I could like Willie more until i read this. Charlie was a staple of my childhood as well even though I didn't understand then what he had to overcome to get on that old pickup radio.
