62 yo. Past week hits hard with Carl Weathers now Toby Keith.
TK was a USO touring freak. Had the chance to see him in Kandahar and Jalalabad Afghanistan in 2008. Always was one to perform for the troops. High respect for the guy and for his music.

Rest in Peace Toby. Maybe we will meet again.
You were an excellent American and a great singer/musician. Wife and I had the pleasure of seeing him at a concert some years back. We did enjoy the experience.
Again Rest in Peace Toby.

He seemed to have a great attitude, and even though he was a shell of his former self, I though he was going to recover. Nobody is promised tomorrow.

I liked his music and voice, especially liked his song "Don't let the old man in!" Saw him in an interview done a short time ago, he was a shadow of the Toby we all knew.

I don't know much about the man except he supported our troops and played some good music.
He will be missed.

Im out for a ride this morning and I am in a hole in the wall restaurant in Burton Texas having a great hamburger and some great onion rings. They are playing non stop Toby Keith hits on their speaker system. Toby had a lot of really good songs. May have to stay here a little longer than usual

While I was never a fan, I wished him no ill will.... However, stumbled on this performance from last year. He knew what was coming. This was, to me, quite powerful, and gained a ton of respect from me at least... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFfQDqY6mC4 |

That was the song he wrote for Clint and his movie "The Mule" I saw the interview of how he came about the song. And it was Clint not what was coming for him.. At a celebrity Golf thing that Clint puts on . Clint had said his BD was coming up and Toby said what are ya going to do. He said I have to go to Gorgia and work on the film.. Toby ask what do you do to keep going ? Clint said do something everyday, always move, and don't let the old man in .. So it really was Clint that gave Toby the spark to write the song. So now you Know the rest of the story , truth be known.. It starts around 1:56 https://youtu.be/xrAsnXi-UgA?t=4 |

When my son was a teenager he met Toby Keith.
Toby invited him onto his tour bus talked with him for awhile and gave him a personally autographed CD.
He was one of the good ones for sure!

saw recently most of his dan rather interview from about 10 years ago. he shot from the hip and told it the way it is and if anyone not like it, did not bother him. Like he got grief for playing for both republicans and democrats thru his career whether it be george bush or Obama, he did NOT take sides was an independent did it because he was asked to play for them, NOT taking either side, as it should be.
Lots of great patriotic and funny songs in his day, he was one of the good ones for sure. RIP... darn cancer
