Country singer Toby Keith - the infamous lyricist who composed the lines "We'll put a boot in your ass/it's the American way" cautions listeners not to write him off as an "ignorant redneck" in a recent interview with Esquire. He gives us good reason not to.

In January's "American Issue," Esquire editors repeat their monthly feature "What I've Learned," in which they gain sage advice from all sorts of notable Americans, with a person from each of the 50 states. Keith, who represents Oklahoma, offers as part of his wisdom, "If we need to save the planet, let's save it. " Surprising, and straight to the point - just like his songs.

"If, we need to save the planet, let's save it." Or to put it another way this advice is probably unsound, "When in question or in doubt - Run in circles, scream and shout."
