Toby Keith, Ted Nugent Kick Off Tour
With military rifles, hunting nets and pro-war rhetoric, Toby Keith and Ted Nugent gave a concert Friday night that was unapologetically patriotic. The two acts, who performed together during a USO tour last summer, played to a sold-out crowd of 15,000 at the Omaha Qwest Center Arena. The show was part of a 20-city tour that was launched in Tulsa, Okla., Thursday - the same day as President Bush's inauguration. Besides their patriotism, the self-proclaimed "rednecks" have another commonality: Both are terrific entertainers. The talent served them well, since each had to appeal to the other's fans, though the boot-stomping audience clearly leaned country.
