This big shot western singer Keith Urban asked all Canadians to stand up at the Minot Fair. After everyone stood up he asked all the Canadians to leave the stands before he would sing because they were not helping out fighting with USA troops. Pass this around and see how his record sales do in Canada.
Also Garth Brooks donated 1 million to keep Canadian cattle out of USA.
Forward this to every Canadian on your email list, I always thought western singers were crazy this really proves it.
In September 2006, the Internet contributed a new version of this legend in which Keith Urban demanded that all Canadians leave his concert because he was angered by Canada's refusal to help the U.S. win its war in Iraq. The telling widely circulated in e-mail placed the incident "at the Minot Fair," a tidbit of information that provided just enough of a starting point from which to get at the truth.
On 21 July 2006, Keith Urban performed in Minot, North Dakota, to a crowd of 12,069 at the North Dakota State Fair. No mention surfaced in the news arising from that nine-day extravaganza of the singer's having ordered concertgoers (Canadian or otherwise) to vacate the stands. Given that coverage of the fair included such in-depth coverage as Charlene Bangen's pork dish missing first place by two noodles (which the judges determined too dark in color to merit the nod), a big-time country star's giving the boot to some of his paying public would surely have been reported upon had such an event actually occurred.

As for the tacked-on rumor that Garth Brooks donated $1 million to keep Canadian cattle out of the U.S., we've yet to locate anything that supports the claim.

Besides that fact, if I enjoy listening to a particular artist, I couldn't care less about their political opinions or anything of that sort - you wouldn't judge a politician based on how well they can play the guitar, so why the double standard? Music is not politics.

It is when the musician makes it that way. Can you imagine how embrassed the people were. I here Toby Keith did the same kind of thing.

I'm sure you did. I heard chewing gum takes seven years to pass through your digestive system.

It's a rumour. Plain and simple. I wish people would do a little more of their own investigative digging. Hell, this generation has the perfect tool for it, the internet! I don't care for Keith Urban although I'm a fan of Garth Brooks it's still of no importance, I don't need to know someone to stand up a speak the truth about him when I hear an obvious lie. People, don't believe EVERTHING you hear, read or witness on the net. It's time for folks to use their own mind lest someone uses it for them...
