Cell phone Quote by Peter Cooper
““I wound up writing a review that asserted her greatness but also said that this was not her career album, and that she could and would do even better than this. I was in Atlanta, late at night, leaving a piano bar (don't ask), when my cell phone rang and I distractedly picked it up. 'Hello?' 'Peter Cooper?' The words came out as one: 'Petercooper?' 'Yes.' 'You better get your ass over here right now.' 'Who is this?' 'Petercooper, it's Leeannwomack. Where the hell are you?' 'I'm in Atlanta?' 'Why?' That one was hard to answer. I paused to ponder. 'Doesn't matter. Get your sorry ass over here right now.' 'I can't. I'm in Atlanta.' 'Well, get in your car and drive to Nashville. 'Cause I'm gonna give you three swift kicks to the groin.””
