When I woke up at 4:30 AM, I decided that agreeing to the 5:30 AM interview with the station in Chattanooga wasn’t such a good idea. I had to defrost the ice off my windshield before I could drive to the Gaylord for the interview, which took place in the cavernous, empty NRB exhibit hall. But Andy Napier asked very go …
