Toby Keith gives middle finger to authority by playing for most powerful person in world

Renowned rebellious country star Toby Keith is taking his anti-authority stance to a whole new level.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Renowned rebellious country star Toby Keith has a well-known reputation as an anti-authority badass. And he's really ramping that into overdrive by his decision to play at the killer, no-holds-barred inauguration for the most powerful, corporate, establishment-representing individual in the entire world.

THIS AIN'T YOUR NANA'S GLORIOUS, CELEBRATORY, UNQUESTIONING SHOW-PAGEANT!

You don't want the Big Dog himself to stand on a stage to welcome in a new leader amid the pomp and circumstance of the incoming Republican administration? Well that's fine. You don't have to like it. You believe whatever you wanna believe. Free speech. No rules.

But I got news for you if you think you, or anyone, can stop him — except for the aforementioned leader who has requested he perform, and whose dictates he will obey regarding content, length of performance, time of performance, etc.

AND SCREW YOU IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, BUD!

Toby Keith doesn't take much of an interest in your "issues" and your "feelings." Toby Keith does what Toby Keith wants to do. And what Toby Keith wants to do is play music. So if you ask him to play, that's what you're gonna get, whether you're Donald Trump, or probably Ted Cruz, or Joseph Stalin, were he alive to make the request and pay the airfare to Stalingrad. You're gonna take exactly what he wants to give you.

AND WHAT HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU IS PURE COUNTRY AND WESTERN–TINGED ROCK & ROLL UNDER THE BANNER OF YOUR CHOOSING, REPRESENTING EXACTLY WHATEVER YOU REPRESENT AND HELPING BROADCAST THAT MESSAGE UNQUESTIONINGLY TO THE WORLD, BABY!!!

TAKE THAT, "UNCLE" SAM!
