Toby Keith Defends His Music

Toby Keith has had to defend his song "Beer For My Horses" which was released back in 2003...the song's lyric "...hanging them high in the street" caused a blogger from the Huffington Post to claim that Toby was singing about lynching, which is particularly offensive to some as many blacks were lynched by racist groups during the 19th century. Obviously Toby is denying that the lyric has anything to do with lynching, saying "It's about the old west and horses and sheriffs and posses and going and getting the bad guys. It's not a racist thing or about lynching. The song was a hit and the words lynch and racism has never come up until this moron wrote this blog." Way to call 'em like you see 'em Toby!
