How I met Toby Keith
Toby Keith was a guest of honor at a banquet and concert I attended a few years back in Phoenix. He was extremely rude and condescending to his fans, refused to perform as scheduled and continued drinking heavily throughout the night. It was apparent this was an obligation he had no intention of making the best of. As my friend and I were introduced he threw his hand our way while continuing a conversation with someone else and not even bothering to look at us, let alone acknowledge our kind words. I lost any respect I had for him right then and there, especially considering that Keith Urban who was only mildly known at the time was there as well and gave us a great performance as well as was willing to talk genuinely with us about his life and music. What a stark contrast!
