Stomach cancer got him at 62. May he find a red solo cup that is always full.

Not a C/W fan, but he was a talented artist. Shame to die so young. RIP

My two primary roommates my first two years of law school were both from Texas, so I got a big heaping dose of country music those two years. Here is one of my favorites from that period. And Toby is a couple of months older than I am, when he sang it.
Requiem æternam dona ei, Domine

He closed his last concert on 12/14/2023 with this:
"Never apologize for being patriotic!"

More on Toby Keith from Wiki. In 2004, Keith called himself "a conservative Democrat who is sometimes embarrassed for his party".[44] He endorsed the re-election of President George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election and performed at a Dallas, Texas, rally on the night before the election. Keith also endorsed Democrat Dan Boren in his successful run in Oklahoma's 2nd congressional district and was good friends with former Democratic New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. In a January 2007 interview with Newsday, Keith was asked whether he supported the Iraq War. He responded with "Never did," and said he favors setting a time limit on the campaign. He also said, "I don't apologize for being patriotic... If there is something socially incorrect about being patriotic and supporting your troops, then they can kiss my ass on that, because I'm not going to budge on that at all. And that has nothing to do with politics. Politics is what's killing America."[citation needed] Keith performs for the troops at the O'Callahan's Cantina at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, on May 31, 2006. In April 2008, Keith said that Barack Obama "looks like a great speaker and a great leader. And I think you can learn on your feet in there, so I don't hold people responsible for not having a whole bunch of political background in the House and Senate."[45] His remarks continued, "I think [John] McCain is a great option too." In August 2008, he called Obama "the best Democratic candidate we've had since Bill Clinton".[46] In October 2008, Keith told CMT that he had left the Democratic Party and he re-registered as an independent. "My party that I've been affiliated with all these years doesn't stand for anything that I stand for anymore," he said. "They've lost any sensibility that they had, and they've allowed all the kooks in. So I'm going independent." He also told CMT that he would likely vote for the Republican ticket, partially because of his admiration for Sarah Palin.[47] In March 2009, Keith received the Johnny "Mike" Spann Memorial Semper Fidelis Award during a New York ceremony held by the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. The trophy is named for the CIA operative (and former Marine Corps captain) who was the first U.S. casualty in the war in Afghanistan. "Spending time with our soldiers around the world is something I've always regarded as a privilege and honor," he said. "I'm certainly happy to accept this award, but I won't forget for a second who's really doing the heavy lifting to keep this country safe. And that's why I'll keep going back and spending time with those good folks every chance I get."[48] In April 2009, he voiced support for Obama on Afghanistan and other decisions: "He hired one of my best friends who I think should run for president someday...Gen. James Jones as a national security adviser. He's sending troops into Afghanistan, help is on the way there. And I'm seeing some really good middle range stuff. I'm giving our commander in chief a chance before I start grabbing. So far, I'm cool with it."[49] On January 19, 2017, Toby Keith performed at the pre-Inaugural "Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration" held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., in celebration of the beginning of the presidency of Donald Trump. Keith thanked outgoing president Barack Obama for his service and thanked president-elect Trump at the start of the celebration. Keith then played several of his patriotic songs, including "American Soldier," "Made in America," "Beer For My Horses," and "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue."[59] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Keith |

I should not assume he chewed, but I will. Smokeless tobacco is a leading cause of stomach cancer. It's nasty stuff.

I took a week vacation, and did ahelluvalot of walking. ALONE! Cold turkey was the ONLY way I was going to be able to do it. Glad I did. |

I quit chewing and smoking on Jan. 1, 1980; had smoked off and on for about eight years and chewed occasionally for four. Best decision I ever made. |

"Beer For My Horses" is a patriotic song? I’m glad that out of all the information presented there that you picked that to post about. I read that as beer for my whores. I thought it was super patriotic. |
