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.

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