(7/17/03, 4 p.m. ET) -- Toby Keith has no problem sharing himself with his fans, but he may have taken that to a new level. Keith answered a few questions for Blender magazine in their new issue, and there are a few revelations that might raise an eyebrow or two.

For instance, he was asked about his political affiliation, and he said, "I was raised southern Democrat, and my dad and granddad would roll over in their graves if they knew I voted Republican. My dad used to say, 'We don't have enough money to be Republicans.' Well, I do have enough."

For "Who's your dream girl?", Keith replied, "Other than my wife? You know who I was a freak for? Jeannie (Barbara Eden) from I Dream Of Jeannie. She was a hottie with that midriff showing."

Perhaps the most surprising answers came in regard to his physical state. Keith says with a laugh that he's "six-foot-four--and eight inches," and admits to having shaved more than a few places on his body: "I've trimmed everything close once or twice, except my legs. It's summertime, and it's hot, you just take it all down--chest, armpits, crotch, everything."

Alan Jackson put out Where were You after 9/11. Also a good tribute song. He was also great in concert. Very patriotic crowd. I recently saw Ted Nugent with ZZ Top and uncle Ted had a statue of Saddam on stage and shot it through the chest with a compound cross bow.The crowd went nuts.

Man, I would have paid top dollar to see that.

You must see his show - it's just absolutely great! He was here 3 weeks ago, and people are still talking about it.

I went, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of wimmin and booze, and good music... couldn't ask for much more!

Check out "My Red White and Blue", video by SSgt Brawley and song by Toby Keith. It is amazing!

If it's Al Sharpton--what exactly is the problem?

Clint Black, another CW boy, has one called "Iraq & Roll" and it's free on his site to download.

Toby Keith was the first country artist I "could" listen to. His song "The angry American" spoke to me like no other song after 9-11. Now my ear has been tuned a bit more to country and I kind of like it. Most of the stuff sounds like music they played on the radio in the 70's anyway.

Toby Keith tore it up last night. He absolutely packed the place. He said he was amazed at the turnout because there are only 1 or 2 country stations in the backwoods of Joisey (yes, we have some woods).

The best part was when the crowd spontaneously started chanting USA, USA halfway through the show and TK said "I appreciate that but we ain't there yet." When he played "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue," the crowd went WILD.

I love the shots he took at Jennings, Hollywood, and the French. The "bus songs" were an unexpected treat.
