PERSONAL STAND, A(ISBN=9780345499349) 英文原版 pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

Country music superstar Trace Adkins isn’t exactly known for

holding back what’s on his mind. And if the millions of albums he’s

sold are any indication, when Trace talks, people listen. Now, in A

Personal Stand, Trace Adkins delivers his maverick manifesto on

politics, personal responsibility, fame, parenting, being true to

yourself, hard work, and the way things oughta be.

In his inimitable pull-no-punches style, Trace gives us the state

of the union as he sees it, from the lessons of his boyhood in

small-town Louisiana to what he’s learned headlining concerts

around the world. Trace has worked oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico,

been shot in the heart, been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, and

braved perhaps the greatest challenge of all: being the father of

five daughters. And shaped by these experiences, he’s sounding

off.

? I’m incredibly frustrated with the state of American politics. If

there were a viable third party, I’d seriously consider joining

it.

? If anybody wonders who the good guys are and who the bad guys are

in this world, just look at the way we teach our children as

opposed to the way the fundamentalist Muslims teach their

children.

? Organized labor now exists for the sake of organized labor, and

not for the workers it once protected.

? I believe the easiest way to solve the illegal immigration

enforcement problem is to go after the employers who hire illegal

aliens.

? As a society, we’re unwilling to sacrifice our luxuries and our

conveniences in order to conserve. We won’t change until we’re

forced to.

? The war on terror is like herpes. People can live with it, but

it’ll flare up from time to time.

Brash, ballsy, persuasive, and controversial, A Personal Stand

isn’t just the story of Trace Adkins’s life; it’s the story of what

life can teach all of us.
