Only 62. Cancer can be cruel and unforgiving.

I never got to see him. Every time he came around there was always something else going on. I am going to Winstar next week. I will stop in his restaurant and have a cold one for him.

I can't help but think that he had a horrifically agonizing battle, judging by his appearance in recent months. It's absolutely heartbreaking.

I went through a HUGE Toby Keith phase in the mid- to late- 2000s. Attended four or five of his concerts, one of them from the third row. He definitely knew how to put on a show. I know he was most widely known for his patriotic and party songs, but he was really underrated as a balladeer. I think it's time to bust out the old playlist and enjoy some of his art.

Rest well Toby!

Yes he did. I LOVE "Don't let the old man in". I had played it for my dad a few times - he thought it was a cool song. It always reminds me of him now. Kind of tearing up now listening to it.

Thanks for the music Toby. You'll be missed by many.
