A joke often told in these spheres is that if you hear Toby Keith on the radio, you’d better start looking out for your draft notice. Ironic that the same propaganda that turbo-fueled Americans two decades ago leaves them worried today. Back then, Congress didn’t need the draft. America provided.
On point. The best songs are written behind a plow. Or the memory of a plow, a hammer, a shovel. The best music always has dirt all over it. Or rich guys rubbed in dirt. As for Keith, I guess Courtesy of the Red White and Blue is all you need to know. And that one line: We’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American way.
Apologies- the last comment was intended for another article I had up. I also very much enjoyed this, but being unfamiliar with country music haven't anything much to add! Thanks for your work.
I enjoyed this very much. It was insightful and got my mind whirring on the problem you've described. I'm an ex-gamer, and cannot pretend that I don't often miss it as a more satisfying and romantic place than almost all of the places I traverse "IRL". Basically anywhere that is not family, friends or woodland compares badly to Dark Forces: Jedi Knight.
