Recently, I got the chance to see and meet Trace Adkins. After a little bit of side research after the concert, I now firmly believe he may be immortal. He is one of the most insanely cool human beings I have ever met. Let me tell you why I think he is immortal.

1. He had his nose severed in a car accident.

Although reattached, his nose did come off after hitting a school bus head on in his car one frosty morning. On top of that, he had a broken rib and a punctured lung.

2.He survived a hurricane on an oil rig.

First of all, oil rigs are only so structurally sound in the middle of open ocean water so one bad storm has the potential to do some damage. And, depending on how bad the hurricane was, the oil rig could have toppled over, flooded, or somehow been severely damaged and put him and 9 of his co- workers survived.

3. He also survived both a truck and a bulldozer accident on the rig.

The bulldozer accident crushed his hips so badly he thought he would loose his legs. And then less than a year later he had a truck accident that left him in a neck brace. With both of these accidents he came close to paralysis or having his legs chopped off, yet somehow came out still walking.

4. Rig explosion

There was an explosion on the rig that caused his left leg to be crushed, which caused him to almost lose his left leg....again....

5. He accidentally chopped off his finger....

while still working on the rig he accidentally chopped off his left pinky finger and had it reattached but now cannot straighten it completely.

6. Being Shot...?

After coming home from a drinking binge his wife of the time got mad. After fighting for a little while, she took a .38 and fired at him 3 times once in the heart and once in both lungs. He almost didn't survive this.

As you can see Trace may just be immortal. As someone who is a foot plus shorter than him, I fear making him angry in any way, shape or form.
