Advice To Aspiring Acts: "For most people who come to town with guitars on their backs, my advice would be jump right in the middle of the honky-tonks. Get your money built up and get used to playing every night. You have to have a training ground. Honky-tonks are the best training ground you have."
Heavy Rotation: Billboard magazine named Toby?s "Should?ve Been A Cowboy" the most played song of the decade in the ?90s and his latest No. 1, How Do You Like Me Now?! was the most played song of 2000.
On Family: "I?ve got a good wife who understands and backs me. Tricia and the kids are very supportive. I enjoy what I do, and the magic is that they understand when I?m not there for special days because I?m working."
On The Music Industry: "The music business is a cluttered roller-coaster ride. It will skyrocket you one day and the very next day it will bring you to your knees. But through it all, you have to have a smile on your face and show up to play every day. The only thing I know of to carry you through is to have strong roots."

.One of my favorite things about Toby Keith is him not giving a (bleeeepppp) what anyone thinks about him or his music, he is a real guy and loves his music and his country.
