520    Country music star Adkins isn't known for holding back 
       what's on his mind. And if his album sales are any 
       indication, when Trace talks, people listen. Here, he 
       delivers his maverick manifesto on politics, personal 
       responsibility, fame, parenting, being true to yourself, 
       hard work, and the way things ought to be.
