Country Western music star , Toby Keith, passed away after a long bout with stomach cancer.
Not personally being a huge country western fan, I did know of his talents and songs. Songs like 'Beer for my horses', American Ride, White trash with money, Drinks after Work , Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue, American Soldier and Red Solo Cup.
Keith was also a proud American, supported the Military and troops, doing many USO shows for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Saying "I don't apologize for being patriotic. If there is 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 whats killing America."
His song, 'Don't let the old man in' was used in Clint Eastwood's movie 'The Mule'

Yep. I read about his Passing as I was starting my day, sipping my first cup o' joe, and instantly just hung my head, offered up a prayer, and then sighed, 'cause I knew the rest of my day was likely to be very morose.
One huge disadvantage of living a long time, is see so many of those you grew up watching, listening, figureheads in both entertainment and real world, die before you.
I believe Toby was a very good man with a heart and soul made of gold.

This one hurt
Got to see mister Keith during one of his USO shows while deployed
he brought the house down when he played Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue.
I was still working as a LEO when "Beer for my horses" was released and was always partial to the message in the chorus
"That justice is the one thing you should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singin' whiskey for my men, beer for my horses"
Rest in peace sir
I raise my glass to you

Starting to like him already. I wish I was as fortunate as him, to be born a son of liberty instead of an asian slave.
