Toby Keith should be ready to raise a ‘Red Solo Cup’ in celebration. The singer’s Toby Keith Foundation has designs on opening a facility to house and provide amenities for the families of children receiving treatment for cancer. The foundation is inching closer to its goal of opening the $8.5 million complex, dubbed the OK Kids Korral, as an Oklahoma City board has approved the plans.
Over the past 10 years, Toby Keith has been the most-played artist on country radio. His feat as one of country music’s most influential artists was enough to garner the win for Artist of the Decade at the 2011 American Country Awards on Monday night (Dec. 5).
Toby Keith won’t make his ‘Glee‘ television debut until next week, but a full clip of the ‘Red Solo Cup‘ cover has already hit the web. When an old McKinley High School regular (played by Chord Overstreet) returns in the ‘Hold On to Sixteen’ episode, a party ensues, and the red party cups get passed around like candy — filled with sparkling cider, of course.
November 29, 2011 I'll admit it, I'm a huge 'gleek' (glee geek for those of you who have never heard the term) and I will most definitely be watching tonight as the cast of the hit television series takes on Dolly Parton's 'Jolene'.
Toby Keith‘s ‘Red Solo Cup’ has caught on with the sippy cup crowd. This recently uploaded YouTube video shows a 3-year-old girl in a car seat belting out the chorus of Keith’s viral hit. Fast forward to the 20-second mark to watch her really scream the lyrics.
October 28, 2011 It's not secret that Toby Keith is a proud American. And it comes as no surprise to me that he would sing the National Anthem with Stephen Colbert while he was a guest on The Colbert Report.
Toby Keith‘s self-proclaimed “stupidest” song may become his most popular. ‘Red Solo Cup,’ a single from his just-released ‘Clancy’s Tavern‘ album, will be featured next month in an episode of the popular Fox TV hit ‘Glee,’ according to Rolling Stone.
October 20, 2011 I got the pleasure of hearing Toby Keith's new album today and let me tell you, it's really good. You have the chance to hear it before you buy it this Sunday!
I'm so sorry. So very, very sorry. Once you hear this awesome party song from Toby Keith you WILL have it in your head for the rest of the day. But that's okay, because so will everyone else.
And everyone includes Eric Church, Ted Nugent, Larry Bird, Carrot Top and many other famous fans of the red Solo cup
Toby Keith has released some of the most proudly patriotic songs in modern country music, making him an easy target for those who prefer to think of country artists (and perhaps country fans) as belligerent or intolerant. The reality, of course, is more nuanced.
The fact is that Keith is simply not shy about speaking his mind, as readers discovered when Keith was asked to share his thoughts on gay rights during a recent interview with CMT Insider.
Toby Keith has recently gone on record as saying that America’s wealthiest citizens should expect to shoulder their fair share of the country’s tax burden — and he knows a thing or two about what it’s like to write the IRS a check after having a successful year.
He might have to get set to write another one, too: According to Forbes’ latest list, he’s the highest-paid entertainer in country music.
The fight over taxes and the public debt is never far from the headlines lately, and Toby Keith has never been shy about speaking his mind on political matters, so it’s only natural that he offered his thoughts about taxes when speaking with the Boston Herald.
What might be surprising — at least for folks who consider Keith just another red state-residing good ol’ boy — is the way he responded to the question.
