Toby Keith: CMA is “A Political Thing”

Toby Keith is doing great with 35 MPH Town but you won’t hear any of the tracks at the 2015 CMA Awards. The country singer doesn’t attend the even, because well to him, it’s a political thing. “I think in three years I had 24 nominations. I was 0 for 24 and I went, ‘I can’t beat the politics of this deal…I was a No.1 ticket seller, a No. 1 album seller and I spent 51 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard in a four year span and I went 0 for 24? I was like, ‘This isn’t worth my time.’”
