COUNTRY STAR KEITH ENCOUNTERS MORTAR FIRE ON USO TOUR
April 28, 2008 - 8:22 am
Country star Toby Keith was trying to give 2,500 soldiers at a military base in Kandahar, Afghanistan, a break from the action, but instead he and his band came under fire along with the rest of the troops.
Keith, on an 18-show USO tour through the Persian Gulf, was right in the middle of his song "Weed With Willie" when mortar fire on the base interrupted him Thursday night.
