Did you catch Tim McGraw on the The Jay Leno Show? (He was part of the "10 at Ten” segment, which was actually “9 at Nine” because of the time zone.) Leno had a list of nine questions and through Tim’s responses we learned that he likes watching figure skating during the winter Olympics because that’s his girls’ favorite. He admits it gets a little scary seeing the men in tights though. And as for his cologne, Tim revealed that the perfume company first wanted to describe the scent in their ad campaign as Aromatic Woody. Tim had no idea what that meant and put a big veto on the idea.
Toby Keith and his independent record label are playing with the big dogs. Show Dog Records has merged with Universal South Records for a new partnership, Show Dog-Universal Music.

However, Universal South’s roster has recently included Joe Nichols, Phil Vassar, Randy Houser and Eli Young Band, while Show Dog Records offered Toby, Trailer Choir, Carter’s Chord and Mica Roberts. Toby founded Show Dog Records in 2005. Universal South was launched in 2002.
