Question: Tell me bout the scrapyard story
HARDY: “Oh, so my manager sent me the, he did, he sent me, dropped the pen and he was like, hey, you should stop by here. There’s your billboard. You should go check it out. And when I was in back in my hometown in Philadelphia, Mississippi, and so I rode out there and the closer I got, I was like oh, this is close to Scotty’s. And then sure enough, I’ll pull in this parking lot and there’s my billboard for country country. And. I realized that it was right there in the parking lot of the Scotty’s, which was a gas station, convenience store, but behind that is a place that, is a scrap yard, scrap metal. And when me and my buddies were broke, I would go, we’d go out to our deer camps and go down in the woods and find old plows and mattresses and just things that were metal and just get any scrap metal we could and we’d load it up on a trailer. And take it to Scotty’s just to get an extra 30 or 40 bucks for beer drinking money or whatever it was in high school. And anyway, it was cool, very extremely full circle moment for me.”
