Rhodes shared:
“As much as those moments come and dreams like that happen, I do genuinely try to think less about, what would Dusty have said? What would Dusty have done? And I think about, damn it, sorry, I think about the people I have and the documentary pretty much named them, I have my mother, Brandy and Liberty and my sister, Teal. Tonight, I was reminded backstage just how important my brother Dustin is to me, I don’t give him enough love and I should brothers, but that’s who I do it for. I could spend all my dreams thinking about Dusty and what would have happened and how he would have felt, but I got him for what I got him, and he’s with me every step of the way.”
