Toby Keith was nominated for 8 Country Music Association Awards this year for his album titled "Unleashed" and it's #1 hit single "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)."

The tune's hostility toward the 9/11 terrorists generated some headlines last year when Keith claimed it cost him a spot on an ABC Fourth of July special. The network said his exclusion was caused by a scheduling conflict.

Others claim Keith is nothing but a crass, cynical opportunist, and that he made a huge fuss about the ABC cancellation, because he had planned to use the free media coverage his performing at the ABC 4th of July event would have given him, to debut the album, which he still did that weekend at a different concert.

From what I can tell, Toby Keith is just one of many country music artists currently making money off memories of the 9/11 dead, the military dead, and all those other hot financial opportunities in the faux patriot industry. But folks are free to make up their own minds about it. Here is a link to an article about it in USA Today:
