Toby Keith is a big dumb hick made out of whiskey and beef jerkey.

OK, this has nothing to so with politics, the war, whatever. I just think Toby Keith is an annoying, full of himself hick. I hate new country (please for the love of what's good, check out BR549 if you want to hear REAL old fashioned FUN bluegrass music with no pretentions and no greasy aftertaste). I'm going through the channels at work and I come across CMT. It's a Toby keith video. I figure i'll watch just for the greasy spectacle I'm sure it will provide and I'm not disappointed.

The video is a bar full of tramps and freaks and Toby is singing about how great the place and the people are. In one part of the video, Toby sings about "...thirsty hitchikers" and at that moment we are shown a creepy guy with long dark hair *holding a switchblade* who leers ominously at two women who smile back at him! WOW. THIS is the culture Toby is so proud of? lol If you're going to be proud of your southern heritage, whatever, but this is NOT how you promote southern culture to outsiders.

And I find it really tasteless that he named the new album "Shock'nY'all which is a play off the war campaign's "shock and awe" bombings. Yahoo, you go Toby. Life is just one big cracker-riffic cowboy movie after all. Maybe someday he'll go to heaven and brag to John Wayne about how he threatened to beat up Peter Jenings. Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaawwww.

(sorry if the term cracker is offensive, I will delete it if needed)

LMAO!

Regardless, my mom loves the guy's music. But we're not hicks, so it's only a minor problem.

Try stomaching working in a music store down in Houston, Texas - where people eat that shit up with collosal spoons, yeah, thats what I have to deal with.

They don't play it in the store, do they? Shitty cromag hicks come to where I work all the time, but at least I don't have to listen to their music (just stare at their Nascar, Viagra, Love God and USA clothes).

The title of this thread is the best I have seen in TNL, or, indeed, any other forum.

I second that.

I saw a guy with a tattoo of Dale Earnharts face on his right forearm and the number 3 on his left along with the phrase, "he's with Jesus now."

I love how you have the consideration to remove the word cracker if someone finds it offensive, yet you have no qualms with the thread title being, "Toby Keith is a big dumb hick made out of whiskey and beef jerkey."

I second that.

High praise, coming from the author of the "My nuts in your mouf ANNOUNCED!" thread.

Good point

Seriously though folks, check out BR549, especially their self titled 96/97 (?) album, it has a telephone on the cover. Excellent old school bluegrass that is just fun to listen to.
