CMT Flameworthy Awards Salute Toby Keith’s

BMI superstars Toby Keith and Tim McGraw were multiple victors at the CMT Flameworthy 2003 Video Music Awards, country music's only fan-voted awards show, telecast live April 7 on CMT: Country Music Television. Keith's "Courtesy Of The Red, White, & Blue" claimed the evening's top prize -- Video of the Year -- and earned Keith praise in the Male Video and Cocky Video categories as well. McGraw's video, "She's My Kind of Rain," was cited for Hottest Male and Fashion Plate honors.
