1960s, early sixties to pioneer political direct mail. People have been raising money for a long time and theyve been raising it money through the mails for charities, churches, etc. Nobody could combine the two politics and the mails. And i did that in the early 60. For about 20 years, i had no competitors. And i went out there and and helped the conservative movement. And i can a case that without direct mail would be no conservative movement worthy of the name. When i did my pioneering work in the sixties, the left wasnt doing. Now theyre doing a better job than the are. Have you always been a conservative when you even when you were growing in texas . I grew up right in pasadena, texas, outside of houston. And kids in neighborhood playing cops and robbers, you know, were 11, 12, 13 years old. I wont tell anybody. Im not shooting robbers. Im shooting commies. I dont know.

In honor of Dickey Betts’ birthday, I went back to the interview we did in August about the real Allman Brothers stories behind the film “Almost Famous” as well as past ones, including our lengthy conversation from 2014 that took place in Betts’ den over glasses of what he called “hippie wine.” One of these days, I hope to present all of the great quotes Betts has given me during the past decade as one (very) long Q&A. For now, though, let’s revisit Betts talking about five of the songs that were crucial in the Allman Brothers’ rise to stardom and the start of the Southern rock movement. For those already familiar with my numerous Betts articles, at least a couple of these quotes have never been published before in their entirety.
