He could be referring to both his legal exploits and his musical experiments when he predicts, "It's safe to say I'll never get on the Grand Ole Opry now."

Bennett seems to revel, too, in these dashes, riding the fast lane in cars, in conversation, in politics. "He's got a big ego, and he knows it," says an associate.
