    Kind of a shock. I knew he was fighting cancer but thought he was doing better. I know he did a couple smaller shows not too long ago.


    I hate cancer!!

    Probably his most famous song was How Do You Like Me Now. Many others. Red Solo Cup...... Big time patriot. Numerous trips overseas to entertain troops.

    Ok. Not being much for listening to today's music nor do I watch tv or go to music, I'm a loner, I guess. Shoot, I don't even listen to radio.

    Really? I liked more of his old (original) stuff and not so much the "newer". I think my favorite was probably No Honor Among Thieves.

    He came on the music scene back in the mid 90's. Not sure if you consider that today's music or not but he has some great songs, some loyal fans, and played numerous times for our troops overseas.

    This was my favorite of his songs. I have fond memories of myself and a childhood friend singing along pretending we were cowboys. I'm thinking we were around 7 or 8 at the time.

    Definitely a patriot and troop supporter. I loved his song American Soldier.

    Tough seeing him withered away like that in the end.

    I've never been a fan of country music, but many of his songs were instantly recognizable. As a patriot and all around good guy, his efforts were even more recognized.

    RIP Toby Keith
