we knew we liked tim mcgraw for some reason

and not just his taste in women either.
Example

when asked about the clean up of areas hit by katrina, of which both mcgraw and wife faith hill are natives, the country singer singled out awol, sez abc news:

mcgraw specifically criticized president bush. "there's no reason why someone can't go down there who's supposed to be the leader of the free world … and say, 'i'm giving you a job to do and i'm not leaving here until it's done. and you're held accountable, and you're held accountable, and you're held accountable.

"'this is what i've given you to do, and if it's not done by the time i get back on my plane, then you're fired and someone else will be in your place. '"

his wife, country babe faith hill, was even harsher in her criticism:

hill, who grew up in jackson, miss., echoed those sentiments. so overwhelmed, she uncharacteristically unleashed an epithet, calling the situation, "bull- - - -"

"it is a huge, huge problem and it's embarrassing," she said.

"i fear for our country if we can't handle our people [during] a natural disaster. and i can't stand to see it. it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out point a to point b. . . . and they can't even skip from point a to point b.

"it's just screwed up”…

the couple rarely voice political opinions, though they've been active in raising money for katrina victims.

things are looking bad for awol if country music is turning against him.
