The Oklahoma country star has a life better than you. Yes, you. And you, and you, and you. And you, too, over there, hiding behind that desk!
Keith’s PR agency issued a press release last week to cement his awesomeness, making note that:
—his “Red Solo Cup” T-shirts sold out within a few hours of their debut on Keith’s website;
—“Red Solo
Cup” is the free track of the week on “Tap Tap Revenge,” the
best-selling music game app in the history of ever;
—he is currently up
for three — count ’em, minions, three! — Academy of Country Music
Awards;
—his restaurant chain, Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill,
is nominated for Nightclub of the Year in Minneapolis; —Country Weekly
magazine recently wrote about him under the headline “Everybody Loves
Toby”; and
—oh, yeah, his Wild Shot mezcal is garnering rave reviews.
“The
cultural phenomenon that is Toby Keith’s ‘Red Solo Cup’ continues to
prove that when the cup reigns, it pours,” the release stated. “As if 11
million video views, a top 10 single, No. 1 download and album, a
‘Glee’ cover and more aren’t enough, ‘RSC’ is in demand on apps and on
backs.”
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, common man! If you can afford a pipe, that is.
