Writing and working on his next album. ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ The award was for a song from 2008. And his last album was in 2010. Johnny Cash put out 96 albums in his career of 46 years. ---

^^^ I guess you think that the Zac Brown Band made a mistake by not only singing a song that James wrote, but having it go to radio last year too. God bless you and them and James always!!! Holly P.S. โ€œNo Hurryโ€ is the name of that song and it went all the way to #2. If releasing that song to radio was a bad move, what would have been a good move? ---

It means taking something you believe to be true about yourself and projecting it, or assuming it, about the other person. So if I frequently lie, Iโ€™ll accuse someone else of lying. If I use sex to get what what I want, Iโ€™ll assume or accuse someone else of doing it. ---
