They both shot off their mouths for good media. Tim should learn from his late father, a very great man. I never knew what Tug McGraw's politics were, only that he was one of the happiest, most fun loving, money ballplayers around. If you got a baseball card through the mail to him, he signed it. He was a classy, all around guy, and a champion. He never mentioned politics and I've never heard a bad word written or spoken about him.
I like Tim McGraw's music, but the only disc I have was given to me by my daughter. As for Faith Hill, I knew she was a lib from the beginning. I never knew why she sold records aside from being hyped like crazy.
I don't know that Tim was around his daddy that much when he was growing up. His political ideas were probably developed after his own "stardom".
Something I've noticed about some "stars" is that they seem in awe of other "stars", political and otherwise, that they have the opportunity to rub shoulders with when they gain some popularity. The brighter their star the more they develop a kind of condescension toward their fans and all that they have "moved beyond".
I don't mean that they don't "love" their fans, but they begin to think of themselves a little more highly than they ought, and get to thinking that their popularity and station in life (or whatever) somehow bestows superior intelligence, experience, and wisdom that wasn't apparent before their star reached it's zenith - and isn't apparent to some of us even now. lol.
That's why we have such liberal luminaries as Babs Streisand, et al, trying to wield political influence, I guess. I quit buying her albums a long time ago.
I don't have to agree with a person to enjoy their talent, but when they make their talent secondary to their political opinion, they force me to make a choice about whether or not to support them by buying the product of their talent.
