If you are a fan of country music, you might be familiar with the song “I Love This Bar” by Toby Keith. It is one of his most popular and successful songs, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 2003. But do you know the story behind the song and what inspired Keith to write it?
According to Wikipedia, Keith wrote this song with his friend and fellow songwriter Scotty Emerick. They were inspired by a bar they visited in Syracuse, New York, where they saw a diverse crowd of people having fun and enjoying themselves. They decided to write a song that celebrates the bar culture and the sense of community it creates.
The song describes various characters that frequent the bar, such as bikers, yuppies, college kids, soldiers, and farmers. Keith sings about how he loves the bar for its atmosphere, music, drinks, and friendly staff. He also mentions some of the features of the bar, such as a jukebox, a dance floor, a pool table, and a big TV screen.
The song’s title also inspired a chain of restaurants owned by Keith named Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill. The restaurants feature live music, memorabilia, and southern-style food. The first one opened in 2005 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and since then more than 20 locations have been opened across the US.
You can listen to the song on Spotify or watch the official music video on YouTube. You can also read more about the meaning behind the song on this website.

This Is Not An Edited Photo. Look Closer And Try Not To Gasp
Though not very well-known, the 1985 film “Evil Town” features a few noteworthy scenes. This picture, which features Lynda Wiesmeier, captures one such instance. A young guy and lady dressed in throwback attire are seen standing in front of a car in what appears to be a standard 1980s image at first glance. The woman is dressed in high-waisted white shorts and a bright red blouse tied at her waist, while the man is dressed in a gray sweater with multicolored shapes and dark shorts.
The scene is what really draws the eye. The scene is nostalgic and natural, with big trees in the background and them standing in front of an old brown station wagon. You’re taken back to the 1980s by the car, the clothes, and the trees.
This picture is a fun throwback that makes you feel nostalgic and highlights how much has changed. Examine it more closely, and relish the trip down memory lane.
