Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar and Grill"

[QueenOfCalifornia]

4. BwaaaaHaaaa!

Keith is one mixed up dude...He endorsed Bush. He is a registerd Democrat. He talks like he is dumber than a bucket of shit.

This is taken from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Keith

Keith had a public feud with the Dixie Chicks over the song "Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue", as well as over comments they made about President George W. Bush on stage during a concert in London. The lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, Natalie Maines, publicly stated that Keith's song was "ignorant, and it makes country music sound ignorant."<3> Keith responded by belittling Maines' songwriting skills, and by displaying a backdrop at his concerts showing a doctored photo of Maines with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. On May 21, 2003, Maines wore a T-shirt with the letters FUTK on the front at the Academy of Country Music Awards. <4> While a spokesperson for the Dixie Chicks said that the acronym stood for "Friends United in Truth and Kindness," many including host Vince Gill took it to be a shot at Keith ("Fuck You Toby Keith"). In August 2003, Keith publicly declared he was done feuding with Maines 'because he's realized there are far more important things to concentrate on'.<5> However, he continues to refuse to say Maines' name, and claims that the doctored photo was intended to express his feeling that Maines' criticism was tyrannical and a dictator-like attempt to squelch Keith's free speech.<6>
In the 2006 film Shut Up and Sing, Maines confirmed that the FUTK shirt was in fact a shot at Toby Keith, after once claiming that it meant Freedom Understanding Truth and Kindness. In an October 2004 appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, Natalie finally acknowledged that it was indeed an obscene shot at Toby Keith, and that she didn't think her fans would get it.<2>

5. "Keith considers himself "a Conservative Democrat"

Taken from your own sourcing, so what's yer point?

:shrug:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

20. I don't like it when

people can't make up their minds. WTF is a conservative Democrat? Is it like a Republican that smokles pot? It is annoying.

9. So do I

"I Love this Bar" is a modern country classic.
Politics aside, if I like someone's music I listen
and buy. That's one of the differences between us
and Rethugs. Hell, I even like Charlie Daniels and
a couple of Nugent's songs.

We got winners,
We got losers,
Chain smokers and boozers,
We got yuppies,
We got bikers,
We got thirsty hitchhikers.
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars.
Mmmm, I love this bar.

We got cowboys,
We got truckers,
Broken-hearted fools and suckers,
We got hustlers,
We got fighters,
Early birds and all-nighters,
And the veterans talk about their battle scars.
Mmmm, I love this bar.

Chorus
I love this bar.
It's my kind of place.
Just walkin' through the front door puts a big smile on my face.
It ain't too far.
Come as you are.
Mmmm, I love this bar.

We got short skirts,
We got high techs,
Blue collar boys and rednecks.
We got lovers, Lotsa lookers,
I've even seen dancin' girls and hookers.
And we like to drink our beer from a Mason jar.
Mmmm, I love this bar...Yes, I do.

Instrumental Interlude

I like my truck.
I like my girl friend.
I like to take her out to dinner.
I like a movie now and then.

But, I love this bar.
It's my kind of place.
Just twirlin' around on the dance floor puts a big smile on my face.
No cover charge.
Come as you are.
Mmmm, I love this bar.

Mmmm, I love this old bar.

11. He's awesome. nt.

[lightningandsnow]

14. I don't like Toby Keith.

Honestly, it's nothing about the dude's politics. I'm just really not a fan of his music - juvenile, unintelligent country pop all about putting a "boot in your ass, it's the American way", really doesn't do it for me.

(This is nothing personal by the way. I just don't share your taste in music.)

[Jack_Dawson]

17. No worries...I also like Interpol...

Silversun Pickups, The Cure, The Smiths, AC/DC, Guns n' Roses, etc. etc.

[last_texas_dem]

19. He's recorded some stuff that I've liked

Particularly early in his career: "He Ain't Worth Missing", "Wish I Didn't Know Now", "Who's That Man?", "Does that Blue Moon Ever Shine on You?", "A Woman's Touch", "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying", and "We Were in Love" are all strong rock-flavored country. He used to be particularly good with sad songs, IMHO.

What's odd is that he really hasn't released any singles that I've cared for since he recorded that pro-war piece of garbage "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue." It really doesn't have anything to do with getting pissed off about his jingoistic politics; his music just seems to have shifted content-wise and, to a point, musically, and he seems to be more about doing stupid junk like "Who's Your Daddy?" and "I Wanna Talk About Me" that I just don't have any interest in.

21. Good research

I dig "Love me if you can" and believe it or not "Whiskey Girl" and I agree w/ you on those other songs that suck. :beer:
