I knew him as a kid. We were in the same class in elementary school. He was a good guy then. I haven't talked to him since the early 70’s. It’s a little strange when someone you knew became so talented and famous. I enjoyed his music and appreciated the way he stood up for things I believed were important. His death definitely reminds me of my own mortality. RIP, Toby.
His “How do ya like me now “ comes to mind from your post.
Rest in Peace, Toby. An thank you for your unflinching patriotism.
I'd be curious to know how many of us have put Jackson Handjob on "ignore" after his outrageous posts. It should be done across the board. Send the scum a message.
Maybe they'll stop playing his sh Itty music now..
There is always one a-hole that just has to has to comment when he should have kept his thoughts to himself. I liked his music and will miss him. RIP Toby.

To the guys that say he was a democrat you might want to back that up a little. This is him singing at Trumps inauguration!!!
"However, in a 2017 interview with The Atlantic, he said the decision to play was a matter of duty rather than tacit support toward Trump, saying if "the president of the frickin' United States asks you to do something and you can go, you should go..."
"I performed at events for previous presidents [George W.] Bush and Obama"....
"Keith was a registered Democrat until 2008, when he re-registered as an independent, telling the Chicago Tribune in 2016, "I was a Democrat my whole life."
This stuff really isn't difficult to find..lol all are excerpts from news articles that took me 10 seconds to find.
The country needs a few more Toby Keith's running around right now. Never ever question where his loyalty was "His Country" regardless of what his voter registration was. Man was a patriot through and through.

The entertainment industry is historically left leaning. Not a big Jimmy Olsen scoop there.
So... in 2008, Toby wised up, left the demoRats behind, and became an Independent.
I say... Congratulations to him for wising up.. He wasn't the first, and there are thousands more still wising up every day. Watch some YouTube and you will get a feel for just how many.
And I personally do thank him much for his dedication to our peeps in the sandbox over the last 2 decades. I can't say I was a big Toby Keith fan, because I wasn't. Just not that into country. Nothing against Toby Keith.
So you say his music was simplistic. Ohhh-kaaay. Ever heard of a little band called Black Sabbath?
RIP, Toby Keith. A decent man gone too soon.

I'm just here pointing out facts. Mr gittr wanted evidence to back it up that Keith was a democrat and that I did. If facts make you mad, sorry.
Ps "Simplicitic" would be a complement for his music.
lets get real here...a lot here say the same crap about other singers/actors etc that are on the other "side". dems are pos, dems are traitors etc. I say that about dems, who has a dem for a friend? as far as I understand toby was a dem, obama supporter...so why is he being put on a pedestal now?.....bob
Objectivity is too much for this crowd. I mean after all he got hammered and sang songs about sticking boots in azzez and stuff! #merica lol
