Because He/She's Bald? Like the eagle that graces our nation's currency. Actually, we have no idea, and frankly we're afraid to look.

Odds of Onstage Injury: <10%. Keith is pushing 50, and is unlikely to lumber around more than absolutely necessary.

Odds of Derogatory Obama Reference: 50/50, Keith is on record as being "cool" with the current President. That was last year, however, and few artists want to buck popular sentiment at the expense of record sales these days.
