Toby Keith Thread

C’mon mods let us have one!!

POST ALL TOBY KEITH MEMORIES AND NEWS HERE

Toby Keith passed on Feb 5th and it immediately triggered a lot of Army memories for me. His music is tied to a lot of GWOT veterans service, sort of like Vietnam vets and CCR. I didn't even like country before the Army but after enough convoys it grew on me. Toby Keith made it easy to ease into the genre and I could relate to the songs he wrote about vets.

He put on a free show on Schofield when we got back from the good ol' Kunar in 2012. It absolutely poured all day and we weren't sure he was going to play. But he came out that evening right as the rain stopped and played a hell of a show. We drank all day (of course) and walked over from the barracks to the parade grounds where the concert was being held with a beer in every pocket. It truly is a great memory for me.... arm in arm with the guys I went overseas with singing his songs at the top of our lungs. I can remember being so grateful to be home that night.

RIP Toby, thanks for the memories, the music, THE SUPPORT, and everything you did for the military community.... We'll miss ya 🍻 🇺🇸 🤠
