Singing star HARDY recently had a freewheeling discussion when he guested on the Blurry Creatures podcast about all kinds of things actual and perceived. Just to clarify, per Whiskey Riff, the podcast, hosted by Luke Rodgers and Nate Henry, deals in phenomena such as "bigfoot, ghosts, aliens, and other unexplainable creatures that are often blurry when photographed...." .How does Morgan Wallen, one of the biggest stars in the country music firmament, figure into all this? HARDY expressed some thoughts on that.

HARDY Mused About A Higher Power Guiding His Career
He acknowledges his musical gifts, as well as the likely presence of "a hand" that guides him. Per the outlet, HARDY said, "I have had so many opportunities fall into my lap that are unexplainable. I believe in myself and think that I have talent, but I have always, in my mind, seen it as there is a hand that is sort of pushing me this way. Those are reasons that I believe in God."
The singer also seems to feel that this spiritual higher power helped connect him with Wallen. "Great example, the first time I wrote with Morgan, he had one song that had peaked at No. 30 on the charts. My publisher called me and said, 'Hey, this Morgan Wallen kid... do you want to write with him?' I was like, 'Sure,' and at that point in my career, I was turning things down occasionally."
He clarified that remark. "All I mean by that is I said, 'Yeah, I'll write with him, he's cool,' and he's a big part of me. He changed my life. So did the FGL guys. Just things like that, where that could have been anybody that day. But he and I happened to hit it off and ended up writing a ton of hits together."
The "I'm the Problem" Singer in the Illuminati?
It's a fanciful notion! What If there happened to be a mysterious group that controlled things in a behind-the-scenes, stealthy, hush-hush fashion. Would Wallen be in it? HARDY said, "I don't think the illuminati, as far as I'm concerned, is real. Morgan Wallen is one of my best friends and if anybody were gonna be considered to be in it at this point in their career, it's him. That's silly."
Furthermore, according to HARDY, "Being in this industry, there's not a 'Wizard of Oz' behind the curtain controlling the thing and the people. There are record executives and managers that recognize trends very well and they can kind of see history repeat itself. That's all there is to it."
