I thought this was worth sharing. It starts with Toby Keith playing golf with Clint Eastwood. That sets the stage.
At one point, Eastwood said to Keith, I turn 88 on Monday.
What are you going to do? Keith asked.
Im going to shoot a movie, Eastwood replied, with filming scheduled to begin the following week.
What keeps you going? Keith asked him.
I get up every day and don't let the old man in, Eastwood said.
Im writing this down right now, Keith replied.
Keith didn't ask him if he could contribute a song, Keith just went home and wrote it, sent it to Clint and hoped that he would consider it. And, he did.
