It was the only music I was allowed to listen to, the only music I had access to. I\u2019m really proud of that and I love it. I think that the people that are involved in the country, the people involved in this town they know that, and they\u2019re already there. But what we\u2019re hoping, and what we\u2019re inviting country radio to do, is to catch up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After some applause, she continued, \u201cTo catch up with the way we already think. So I would urge anybody that\u2019s involved in country radio thank you for listening and ask yourself the question every morning before you go to work: \u201cWhat do I want my job to say to my daughter today?\u201d Because she\u2019s an American girl. She\u2019s in love with a boy. She needs wide open spaces. She\u2019s a wild one. She\u2019s more than a pair of blue jeans in the cab of a truck. Thank you for this amazing honor.
