Although Toby Keith has no problem with the ACM Awards, he has no plans on attending next week's CMA Awards show in Nashville. "Hell no, I ain’t showing up. I gotta go get a root canal that day, or something fun," he told Country Weekly. Although Toby is nominated for his first CMA award in seven years—for Music Video of the Year for "Red Solo Cup" he is skipping the show which he has said in the past is politically driven. Despite his leanings, he thinks it's funny to receive a nomination. "Isn’t that crazy?" he says. "But, you know, it’s the only song I ever had cross over and play on the pop stations. Ever. All of my peers that are hard ticket sellers, successful people, at the top of the game we play every day, about every one of them has had a certain amount of crossover play: Taylor, Tim, Keith, Flatts, Faith. I was always the one guy in that generation that didn’t. [Pop stations] were always like, ‘He is so country, we’re not going to play him.’ And I always took pride in that.” Read all about it here. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are hosting the 46th annual CMA Awards next Thursday, November 1st at 8 p.m. on ABC, with no Toby.
About Me: I should have known I was destined to have a career where all I do is talk when I was in kindergarten at Plattsburg Elementary in the late 60's.
