Considering that a large portion of Keith's fanbase is more than likely made up of racist, lower-middle-class, high-school diploma carrying men and women from the South, this isn't a suprise.
What is interesting to note is the radical change in appearance that Keith took in the years before and after September 11th 2001.
Now, does that look like the "boot-up-your-ass-hard-chargin-honky-tonk-troop-supportin-rabble-rouser" that he pretends to be today?
Not at all.
Toby ( if that is his real name ) swapped his permed, innocent, country-love song persona in order to take advantage of the "post-9/11" meme of "hardcore American boy". That "Toby" exists only because his agent told him "Hey, we should cash in on all this 'patriotic' nonsense and make you into a real star. What do you say?"
Well, it's apparent what his response was.
