Both Kix and Ronnie are "pretty torn up" by the death of Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt, you might remember, played a Kix Brooks double in the "Honky Tonk Truth" video and they were close personal friends. "I've just lost a good buddy. Our hearts go out to the family. It's just a really sad time," says Kix."I remember coming in from a day of deep sea fishing. We were both worn out and all of our lines were up. A couple marlins cleared the boat in front of us and Dale had to throw all the lines back in. Those marlins are so hard to catch, I was tired and didn't want to fool with it, but Dale never would let an opportunity pass. And, wouldn't you know -- we caught one! He had a gusto for living life like no one I've ever seen or ever will see again."
