Toby Keith passes away of stomach cancer... An unforgettable performance by Toby, "Don't Let The Old Man In" at the 2023 People's Choice Country Awards. R.I.P. 馃檹
I have been waiting for Toby Keith to die for a long time. May country music breathe a collective sigh of relief.
I don't think it can be understated, the impact Toby Keith had on country music. He utilized the grief of millions to politicize country music and vilify brown people around the world. He encouraged his fans in the misogynistic attack against The Chicks when they were one of the few country acts that stood up against Bush.
There would be no Jason Aldean without Toby Keith. That's his legacy. Hope he suffered, hope he rots.
