You see, this is what I'm talking about.
We hear about these "lover's spats" between all these spoiled rock stars ruining good bands and screwing their loyal fans.
This is the correct sort of attitude.

And then there is the story about how he got his songs covered by Waylon Jennings.
Waylon Heard him do one of his songs at some small event and told Billy Joe he'd like to cover it and that he should come up to Nashville. He took him at his word and went to Nashville.
“He told me to come up to Nashville and he would record all those songs,” says Shaver. “I took him at his word and I chased him around about six months, and I’m doing little odd jobs, you know. I used to wash dishes and stuff … Finally one night, Captain Midnight whose a friend of mine, a disc jockey there, very popular guy, he managed to get me into a session of Waylon’s, and Waylon didn’t like me because he’d run every time he’d see me. He knew he made me a promise but he didn’t want to keep it. Waylon found out I was there and he sent Midnight back with a $100 bill just folded up into a little bitty square and [Waylon] said, ‘Give this to him and tell him to get lost.’ I looked at that and thought ‘Wow’ because I was broke. I could have used it. But I told him, ‘Here, tell [Waylon] to stick this where the sun don’t shine, and twist it.'”
As you can imagine, Waylon was not too happy.
“He’s mad as hell. And there’s a bunch of hangers on and groupies and people like that all up and down the hall. It was a long hall and it was almost like a gunfight deal. He comes out of there and he’s got two bikers on each side, and he says, ‘Hoss, what do you want?’ And I says, ‘I’ll tell you what I want … If you don’t listen to these songs, at least listen to them, I’m going to whip your ass right here in front of God and everybody.”
Now that's called "street cred"!
