Houston Connections, If Any: Yeah. Houston loves anybody named McGraw

If You Like This, Chances Are You'll Like: Styx's "The Best of Times," Sandra Bullock movies, one size too small T-shirts

Odds of Wearing a Hat: 100%

Because He/She's Bald? Oh yeah.

Odds of Onstage Injury: Only if he and Kenny Chesney get drunk and try to steal another horse. We don't take too kindly to that here.

Can You Really "Live Like You Were Dying"? Maybe if you spent every day committing grand larceny, downing massive numbers of intoxicants, and fucking anything with a pulse. We're not sure that's the message McGraw was going for, however. [Ed. Note: Shame.]

KEEP THE HOUSTON PRESS FREE... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" program, allowing us to keep offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food and culture with no paywalls.
