Great dude, world is just not the same without him! And yes that's me, I haven't changed a bit since 2004. 
His Proud to be an American is favorite for me. I will miss his Patriotism in the cesspool of entertainment.
Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue (The Angry American) is by far the best.

I deleted the posts in poor taste. Thread is open again. If you don't have anything respectful to say, don't say anything.

Here’s the obit National Review has for him:
It took Toby Keith about 20 minutes to write his first single, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy.” He was sitting in a motel bathroom in Dodge City, Kan., on the edge of the tub, while about “20 knucklehead” hunting buddies slept in the other room. The song, which would reach No. 1 in 1993 and go on to become the most-played country song of the Nineties, was the first of 32 chart-topping hits. Toby was a good ole boy from Oklahoma, and he was proud of it. Growing up, he worked on a farm while listening to Bob Wills and Merle Haggard. He spent time as a rodeo hand, roughnecking, and playing semipro football. In 1981, a couple of local guys started a band and Keith joined up. The future country-music giant later recalled making just “six grand a year with a kid on the way.” After he notched some small successes, record executives tried to push him toward a pop sound. Toby Keith refused, staying true to himself, and was rewarded. In the first decade of the 21st century, he trailed only Britney Spears and Eminem on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. But success only drove him to give back: In the years after 9/11, Keith headlined eleven USO tours, including more than 285 events in 18 countries. He was never immune to controversy, but he loved life and the people who crossed his path. Dead of cancer at 62. R.I.P.
