Country singer Toby Keith has some choice words for Peter Jennings.

I love Alan jackson's song but the bit about "I watch CNN" always makes me want to yell "But Why Alan WHY?"

Probably because it scanned into the rhythm of the song...

It's a great song. I personally love it.

Isn't it about time we put a boot in Pyotr Jennings's ass?

I was an old-school, classic rocker from the 1980's but that stuff seems so trite and meaningless now. Since the early 1990s, I've been a country music fan from just north of the Mason-Dixon line in New Jersey. Why? Because their songs are about real people, real life, real problems -- and occasionally they mention religion and (shockingly enough) not in a negative way.
