  • Brad Paisley introduces American Flag on the Moon with an excerpt from John F. Kennedy's speech about choosing to go to our lunar neighbor.

    "The easiest thing to do was get the legal copy of John F. Kennedy's speech," Paisley told Billboard magazine. "I thought we were talking about something that would never make the record because it wasn't possible to get, but it's actually the property of any American to use his vocal. You just have to use the track that they supply you from the Kennedy Foundation."
