County star Crag Morgan has been many things in his life, but a coward isn't one of them. So understandably, he wouldn't run scared at the first sign of trouble. However, one disgruntled fan is calling him out for canceling a concert because of a tornado warning.
"Redneck Yacht Club" singer Craig Morgan has done it all. The 49-year-old has been a soldier, a cop and a firefighter. Simply put, he's a man's man. So it wasn't easy for the man who has dedicated a large part of his life to helping others, to disappoint his fans. Still that's what he had to do to insure the safety of his fans, when a tornado threatened one of his concerts last week in Nebraska. Morgan made the decision to cut short his show for the well being of the crowd.
Most of the fans seemed to understand, but one unruly concert goer didn't take it as well, tweeting:
“@cmorganmusic is a [expletive] afraid of some rain. Hope he doesn’t get paid.”
Morgan then decided to man up and tell the world his side of the story, writing a lengthy open letter on his Facebook page:
"I am Craig Morgan - a husband and father, a soldier, a singer, a songwriter, a tv show host, an actor, a police officer, an outdoorsman, a Christian (not always a good Christian but a Christian none the less). I’ve been a fireman, a construction worker, and an EMT, among other things. My point is, I’ve done a lot and I enjoy helping others. Of all the things I do and of the things I am, I most enjoy being a dad and husband. Some days I’m not as good at being Dad and husband as I should be, because I’m too busy being all these other things. These are the repercussions of decisions we make to provide for our family, to be successful, or fulfill our dreams whatever the reasons. Not being as good at one thing is the price we sometimes pay for attempting to be great at others. Greatness is seldom achieved. What does this have to do with one, probably drunk person’s, pissy remark about us not finishing a show due to a tornado? Not a lot, except in my thoughts about last night I remembered a show a few years ago where a storm blew in and people lost their lives. It made me think how blessed I am to have my family, friends, band and crew that I have, and that someone last night had the guts to say stop just in case! To the University of Nebraska, thank you all so much for letting us be a part of your world. We will be back! These remarks are not intended to entice others to get into a pissing match about what happened.They are just my thoughts that I wanted to share. God bless."
Craig made the right call considering seven people died in 2011 when the Indiana State Fair stage collapsed during a Sugarland concert.
