Defends concert participation
McGraw sees no conflict in his upcoming participation in a concert to benefit Sandy Hook Promise after critics call the show a gun-control fundraiser. He says he can both be a gun owner and support the concert. He is taking part in the concert because a band member is friends with a parent whose child was a victim of the shooting at the Newtown school.
Let me be clear regarding the concert for Sandy Hook given much of the erroneous reporting thus far. As a gun owner, I support gun ownership. I also believe that with gun ownership comes the responsibility of education and safety — most certainly when it relates to what we value most, our children. I can’t imagine anyone who disagrees with that. The concert is meant to do something good for a community that is recovering.

Swats Atlanta fan
0 CommentsThe country artist stops his Truck Yeah song for a split second and swats an Atlanta fan away. A spokesperson tells Billboard:
Tim was singing out in the audience, and someone firmly grabbed onto his leg and wouldn’t let go as he was moving through the crowd. He instinctively swatted to try and keep them from ripping his jeans … and so he could get to more fans who were trying to slap hands with him before the end of the show. He didn’t know who had grabbed him and was trying to keep his pants from being torn.

I wasn’t a beer drinker. I was more a whiskey drinker. And I wouldn’t just have a drink. If I was going to drink, I’d have some drinks. People were worried about me. It was to the point where I felt it was negatively affecting my relationships and getting in the way of things I wanted to accomplish in life.

As good of friends as we are, we’ve been on different paths for several years. To be able to spend the whole summer together and reconnect is awesome.

It describes my fan base to a T because my road family, we have always worked very hard, but we’ve always lived by the theory of we work really hard and play harder.It seemed to work for us. I think that defines a lot of the people that have spent a lot of summers with us out there on the road. The first time I heard Feel Like a Rock Star, I knew I was gonna record it because it defined everything that we’re about out there on the road.
