Goodbye Toby Keith, American Legend · 1:30pm February 6th

Undoubtedly, if Toby Keith had ever done a tour in Equestria, Applejack would have been right there in the front row, whoopin' and a hollerin' as loud as possible. I think every high school in the US had a proud friendly guy like this, and we raise our red Solo cups in tribute to his last beer run. Salute!

Toby Keith, Tom Cruise, and I are all about the same age. Scares me sometime because I'm afraid this is my theme song now.

That is a gut punch I was not expecting this morning. Rip to a legend.

I didn't expect that to learn that, you don't write like a crusty old fart :pinkiehappy: and your blog posts don't give off that "get off my lawn/in my day..." vibe either :rainbowlaugh:.

It's kind of startling to realize, however, that I was born and grew up in a time not too far removed from the dawn of entertainment media (music, movies, television, games) and I can't help but wonder how many of the people whose names I recognize from when I was a kid--all of whom are steadily getting snatched up in the Reaper's claw game--will be regarded with the sort of respect that people today hold for the likes of Mozart, Bach, and other classical composers.

Yea I woke up to see that news. It was a hard gut punch, RIP sir.

I grew up listening to Toby Keith

I saw the news this morning and the first thing that hit was "Wait, he's how old?" I seriously thought he was younger than that.

I'll have to go through his discography. I like most of what he does, but I always heard it peripherally due to Country not being my go-to musical preference. Shame it took his death to remind me of such a thing.

I was never a HUGE fan, but I did like some of his stuff. When we were in Iraq, we listened to his music a lot over the tank's intercom. Heh, I remember sitting in the loader's hatch, with my TC standing in his hatch, and us screaming like drunken assholes singing along to Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue. His song American Soldier was played at every memorial service we held over there, along with a slideshow with pictures of the fallen soldier.

RIP, Mr. Keith.

I know that feeling…I’ll be 62 this summer and I swear it’s been so much longer of a trip.
