"She worked two or three jobs at a time," McGraw told The Associated Press in 2004. "I can remember being 11, 12, 13 years old and getting up at 12 o'clock at night and my mom sitting at the kitchen table with the bills spread out everywhere and not even knowing I was there with her head down crying. And then the next day the VCR being gone. It's stuff you grow up with, but you learn a lot from that."

I don't want to sound mean, but doesn't this have all the makings of a country song?

Sounds like a Clinton whopper. When I was 13 or 14, my mother bought a VCR (it was a brand new phenomenon in MS. had to be in LA as well. Beta was one option. My mother bought VHS.) for me so I would quit skipping school to watch soap operas. If Tim is 38, then he is a few years older than I am. If his Mama bought a VCR when he was 11, 12, or 13, then she was spending a lot of money for the time. The story just doesn't ring true. Maybe when he was 15, 16, or 17.
