Toby Keith is Raking in the Dough!!

September 25th 2008 14:53
Toby Keith is popular, sure, we know that. But you'll never guess just HOW popular the country crooner is.



The rankings for the highest paid singers was calculated, using earnings from June 1, 2007 until June 1, 2008 to place musicians. And Tobey Keith ranked THIRD in that list. This list isn't just country people, it's every musician.


The Police and Beyonce were #1 & #2. Toby was #3!!! He even beat out Madonna and Justin Timberlake, who came in at #4 & #5. How cool is that - a country star beat out Madonna in earnings for the year.

BTW, Toby pulled in a cool $48 million dollars. That's a bit of chump change to play with.

Aaron Tippin "Drill Here, Drill Now"

September 9th 2008 23:19
This definitely crosses the line of politics and music, but Aaron Tippin is making a point in his newest song. The country crooner debuted his song on the political Show, Hannity & Combs. It is about the need to drill in the United States to relieve pressure on gas prices at the pump.

Here's the chorus:

Drill here, drill now
How ‘bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow
No more debatin’ we’re tired of waitin’ everybody shout out loud
Drill here, drill now

Aaron wrote it with his wife as he, along with the rest of the country, got steamed that Congress did nothing to prevent, fix or solve the problem of oil. Have you heard it? What do you think?
