A run-in at Willie Nelson's 2003 birthday concert in Madison Square Garden, if the current Rolling Stone article penned by none other than Ethan Hawke is to be believed. Hawke allegedly witnessed the verbal exchange, backstage at the event, when Toby Keith came up to Kris Kristofferson and told him he "better not sing any of that lefty (stuff) out there." Kristofferson, a former Army officer replied, "You ever worn your country's uniform?" When Toby uttered a confused, "What?" Kris continued to set him straight with, "Don't 'what' me, boy! You heard the question. You just don't like the answer." In other words, STFU. Damn, I wish I'd been a fly on the wall for that one. Though the verbal lashing happened years ago, speculation has been reinvigorated due to Ethan's recent article. Kristofferson released a statement denying the incident. Yet, I can't help but take great joy in the possibility... It makes for a good story, if nothing else!In other bizarre musical and "celebrity" pairings, Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) and Tila Tequila were spotted together on the red carpet at the Bravo's A-List Awards. I wouldn't be at all surprised if these two ended up together. My only confusion is their presence at something with "A-List" in the title.
