Being a country music fan, a recent news item caught my attention. Seems country superstar Tim McGraw had to step in to perform security duties at his own concert. He spotted a large man in the front row roughing up a female concert-goer, and since security wasn’t close to the guy, McGraw grabbed him up on stage to intervene in the situation. I don’t know why security wasn’t anywhere near the front row at the time, but it seems McGraw can add something else to his list of accomplishments. The guy already has an pretty interesting biography… He believed his step-father was his biological father until the age of 11 when he accidently discovered his step-father was not listed on his birth certificate. His mother took him to see his real father, baseball superstar Tug McGraw, who denied him until Tim was 18 and he realized how much they looked alike. They remained close until Tug’s death in 2004. He met fellow country singer Faith Hill – a country superstar in her own right – when they toured together, and they married and have 3 daughters. He is one of the most talented and successful country singers of our time and has been in the headlines for a few bizarre incidents, including a run-in involving a police horse (his friend Kenny Chesney, a huge country star himself, was accused of stealing the horse and McGraw was accused of shoving an officer during the melee. The two were later acquitted of all charges after it was proven that Chesney had permission to ride the horse and McGraw was trying to keep his friend from being thrown off the horse). And now this. What a way to get on stage to meet your favorite country singer. And throughout the entire incident, the band played on and McGraw didn’t miss a lyric. I really have to get to a country music concert; it’s been awhile! Check it all out here:
