We are here in front of the artists' entrance, of course, of the Grand Ole Opry. This is huge.
Everyone who has played the Grand Ole Opry since it moved to this, its permanent home, in 1974, has walked down this path. I think you're worthy. Let's take a walk.
Well, we'll see if I'm worthy.
As an artist or a fan, you would walk through. You can see every member is enshrined here on our member gallery.
So Uncle Jimmy Thompson, was he first?
Oh, yeah, of course. Patsy Cline.
I see Garth Brooks. There's still room for you and me.
What would you do if we said, we need you on the Opry tonight? Sing, dance, comedy? I'm there. I'm there. So when you make your Opry debut, you would be—
Oh, this is perfect for me.
Everyone who came before you making your debut for more than 70 years has stood on these planks of wood.
So what's your go-to song when you're out here on stage?
I'm gonna sing Turn Out the Lights. The party's over because I can't because I can't sing. How about you?
Well, we have one. I think I should do that. This song is dedicated to Elon Musk on the eve of the SpaceX IPO. Invested all his mattress money, divorced his prom queen hometown honey, scraping up his alimony. Friends think he's a A little funny. Needs a world-class CEO. Just another million or so. Get him to some real cash flow. So tears and sweat can IPO. For 15 years, he's been outgunned. Bankers demanding blood refunds. Company's looking more fun. Even Draper will not fund. He is the risk master. Lives fast and drives faster. Skates on the edge of disaster. He is the risk master. He's got a mission, company vision, an artist's ambition, gut intuition. Fearless and free employee. No guarantee for the corporate escapee. Team fights on against the trend. Heads will lay off his head. His best friend. Called a recession, seems like depression. Chapter 7, is this the end? Then a salesman shouts, we've got it! Company's gonna show a profit! To think the papers ran quixotic. The sky is open.
Astronautic. Hey!
He is the Riskmaster. Lives fast and drives faster. Skates on the edge of disaster. He is the Riskmaster. He is the Riskmaster. Lives fast and drives faster. It's on the edge of disaster. He's the risk master. He's on top of the world. At last they see it. Vision unfurled. Cash flow landslide. Now everyone wants a piece of his hide. Press wants him fried. Court wants him tried. Anyone this rich must have lied. He is the risk master. Lives fast and drives faster. Skates on the edge. Skates on the edge of disaster. He is the Riskmaster. He is the Riskmaster. Lives fast and drives faster. Skates on the edge of disaster. He's the Riskmaster. Go Elon, you got this! SpaceX is amazing! It's the final frontier. Oh yeah! Among us is the Wristmaster at Grand Ole Opry right now. Baby, this is awesome!
We have a hook and we did not use it on you.
I appreciate that.
You truly are following in the footsteps of virtually every artist who's played country music in I think you're my, um, our first tourer who took this circle and ran with it. This is great.
