You Don't Mess Around With Tim

The Tuesday news leads off with Tim McGraw, ejecting another fan from one of his concerts. It happened last Sunday night in Paso Robles, CA. Apparently, Tim thought a male fan was acting inappropriately towards a woman in the crowd. It’s not clear what exactly the man was doing, but allegedly Tim saw something that was enough for him to stop the show and tell the man, “You don’t treat a woman like that.” The crowd roared its approval and Tim did not continue the show until security escorted the man out.

News From Around The Country
This past weekend, Alan Jackson hosted Aquapalooza at Lake Martin, the Alabama lake where he spent a lot of time while growing up. 35,000 fans floated in for the show. It was taped to be shown on CMT on Labor Day Weekend. Taylor Swift has set a new attendance record at the North Dakota State Fair. Over 50,000 folks showed up to see the show, the first time attendance has surpassed 40-grand according to fair officials. Although North Dakotans are not the only Midwestern fans to be lovin’ them some country music. Nebraska fans have started what could become a new tradition at at Jack Ingram shows. This past weekend, when Jack broke into “Barefoot and Crazy,” he encouraged the crowd to take off their shoes. The crowd took it one step further when they started throwing their shoes and flip flops on the stage. By the end of the song, Jack was surrounded by hundreds of pair of shoes, so he started picking them up, signing them, and throwing them back into the crowd! And finally, if you missed Oprah’s country show back in April, it will repeat tomorrow.
