Toby Keith died

Saw this early this morning. Sad to hear. I grew up on 90's and early 00's country. Always been a Toby Keith fan for his music and his patriotism was unmatched! Country music lost a legend, but he put up one hell of a fight!
I already posted it in the other thread but I'll post it here too
I didn't know he had a cancer until I heard of his death this morning. 62 years isn't a long time, but I'd guess he had a good time.
As a kid who grew up in the North, the first mix cd my college GF (now wife) from Georgia made me, featured “shoulda been a cowboy” as the title track.
Good song, one of my favorites from the '90s
Same here. Have always been a fan. Not one of my favorite artists, but certainly a great one with some really good music. And I always loved his patriotism.
OP
I saw him perform in the 90's and it was probably the worst concert I've ever been to. Always liked his songs though.
Little Texas was also performing and they put on a decent show for a country band so that didn't help his performance.
He made up for it though...he performed at 45s inauguration.
Dang yankees stealing our Georgia peaches!
My boys loved singing the Angry American song when they were little. Probably because I let them sing ALL the words...specifically the part about putting a boot somewhere lol.
I like most of his songs. Sad to hear.

I just heard about his cancer about a week ago. I knew he was pretty sick but I didn't realize how little time he had left.
Growing up basically in his backyard, he's a pretty big deal around these parts. Saw him a few times at Oklahoma football games when I was in college there, and even wound up meeting his daughter at a house party once. She was exactly as wild as you would expect the college aged daughter of a country singer to be.

He came to Iraq not too long after I was wounded so I didn't get to see him...
Try not to judge based on politics, same as I do for anyone I meet.
One of my recent favorites of his.
And of course who can forget...

Don't know which camp or the person who posted this but...
OP
Toby was one of the best baritone voices that has came along in decades- He sang under the flag a lot, but that’s nothing new in country music. We need those songs now more than ever.
The few live performances I heard were solid, Especially his tribute of “country boy can survive” to Hank Jr.
He had a long, strong career for sure.
The interviews/performances I saw recently led me to feel he was a pretty sick man.
In one interview he was talking about ramping up to tour again....I felt he’d be fortunate just to live out the year.
Hate we lost him.
