1. He is such a gracious man. n/t

2. Politically, Keith was a Dem until he fell in love with Sarah Palin and became an Independent. He played for trump's

inauguration. For a Democrat to fall in love with Sarah Palin, of all people, is berserk. I'm not a country music fan post-2000. His hey day was in the 90s. He may have seen his fortunes wane and decided to pick up the political schtick that took root with newt and became adolescent with W. Still, having Palin as your political hero is mind numbing. Maybe it was the stilettoes that sold him on her.

Feeding beer to your horses is just about the most typical CW music theme I can think of.

Still, he passed too young at 63. Rest in peace, Toby.

3. He had number one hits in every decade since the 90s

But as you wrote, you're not a country fan. Nothing about him was shtict.

4. Hmm. That's an interesting endorsement. CW that isn't schtick. I'll have to give it a listen. Thanks!
