I avoid country music like the plague (although I do like a few old school country songs, and I absolutely love Willie Nelson's 70's album of cover songs - "Stardust"), but it's hard not to have even heard of Urban.
Definitely one of the bigger country stars out there and he's even got non-country music fans onboard. I find his music bland and uninspired, but he's a good haul for a half-time show... even more so that it's in Calgary. |
I'm more excited about The Beaches doing the pregame show than I am for Keith Urban at halftime. That's no knock on Keith Urban, he just isn't my cup of tea. But he is undeniably a big star with marquee appeal. Seems like a good guy too, a good Queensland boy.

I was there. There were still people pouring into the gates at half time, most of them were half in the bag already. |

That Ken Burns' series I mentioned explains where the name bluegrass music comes from, I found that interesting. Also interesting were the amount of styles of music that come under the country umbrella, very wide spectrum. I was a fan of the Nashville Sound: Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline but I can't stand much of the the stuff that's played today. |

I feel like it's not as big for younger kids though. Like I never really heard country that much until the end of high school, then went to University in 2012 and it was like it came out of nowhere and everyone was going to Boots and Hearts that summer. |

I only have two Québécois friends whom I would call country music fans and one of them spent some years in Ontario going to school (and I believe actually worked as a bouncer in a country bar on the side) and the other lived in Ontario for a while working in construction. |

Keith meeting Nicole was as a result of his music career success, his success didn't come from being her husband.

It's a nice stat but is not indicative of uSports' popularity on the whole. Seriously, we have two of the nation's best basketball programs in Ottawa and nobody really cares outside of those programs. |
