Wow, I had no idea he was sick. He had a lot of really good songs, and he was very patriotic.

Dang!! I didn't even know he was sick. That's too bad.

He has one of the like 10 country songs I like:

"I should've been a cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride
Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive
Stealin' the young girls' hearts"


RIP Good Sir!!!

I remember as a kid intentionally ordering sports illustrated to get my cowboy yearly tape after winning the superbowl. I was in my teens and had to convince the parents to pay that 29.99 or whatever it was for a yearly subscription.

At the end of the tape, there was a toby keith video about the superbowl champion cowboys in which i thought was put together really good. I watch that thing alot. He also did the opening to mnf vs the eagles. It was all cowboy opening and no eagles stuff. Haha.


Anyway, i know toby keith did alot of things but thats what i will most remember him for. Any thoughts.

Anytime I am near OKC, I make it a point to go to his restaurant I Love this Bar and Grill. They have the best prime rib sandwich that I have ever had. It is followed up by a slice of buttermilk pie. The fried bologna sandwich isn’t bad either

 

[darthseinfeld]

Never a fan of his music, but always respected him. He definitely went his own way

Yikes. Haven't seen him in a while. Sad how no one escapes the ‘cancer look.’

 

[kskboys]

Holy Larry, completely shocked.

Want to see a great video w/ him and Terry Bradshaw, "I'm Just Talking About Tonight."

You might like that one even if you don't care for his music.
