Love & Theft Have a Pontoon!

Two of the biggest songs of the summer are Love & Theft’s “Angel Eyes” and Little Big Town’s “Pontoon.”  Turns out one of the guys in Love & Theft actually OWNS a pontoon boat!  Stephen Barker Liles told Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton that he’s the proud owner of an inflatable party boat: “I have a pontoon, so I love this song.  It’s actually parked in my backyard right now.  Every time we take it out on the water, we have to paddle it back in.  It’s from the 70s.  I inherited it from my grandfather when he passed.  It’s the coolest thing he ever gave me.  It’s lime green, it’s a floating party barge, but I got a new engine this summer, and I’ve got a fuel leak right now, but my dad’s helping me figure it out.  The grass underneath it is getting plenty of fuel.  The other day I said to my brother, ‘We should sit on the pontoon and have a couple drinks!’  I should have written a song about pontoon, but they did that one justice.”
