My Reaction to Toby Keith’s Don’t Let the Old Man In!

In this video, I give my reaction to "Don't Let the Old Man In," a phrase coined by Clint Eastwood and popularized by Toby Keith in his song of the same name. I talk about how we can all live full and energetic lives at any age by ignoring the negative voices that tell us we're too old to do certain things. I also share my own personal experiences with aging and how I stay active and healthy.

Great song by a great artist love and miss him and thank you Tricia for letting us have him and enjoy his great music

[@5150crazyfun]

This song is the perfect tribute for Toby sadly after his passing. I have been a huge fan of his ever since I was 10 in 1993. It's heartbreaking seeing this one of his final live performances and realizing he was telling everyone goodbye. RIP Big Dog.

[@thecommonsenseivore]

For sure. And a great reminder for those of us left behind.

[@Camilleraburn-ld6rw]

God Bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Toby Kieth I'm going to be praying for you What a great song

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Agreed 100%

[@uguessright]

I am 81 and feel young but this song brought tears to my eyes. It's just so touchy and beautiful. Thanks Toby-

[@jerrycarroll4581]

It hits differently to the older of us, if you know what I mean. I watched a teenager do a cover of it and couldn't watch it all the way through. He could play the notes but he just couldn't present the lyrics in a believable fashion for me.

[@Shabutie554]

RIP Toby. You are so loved. You and your music will live forever

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Well said!

[@tomyoho7825]

I'm 51 I love this song. The best song in a very long time ever written I love Toby Keith beatiful song

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Agree 100%

[@jerrycarroll4581]

You're at an age where it has a different meaning from what a younger person would feel. Its like you have to be there to get it.

[@markwilliams8797]

Man still had a great voice. Toby will be missed. Great human and patriot. Love you Toby. Rest in Peace.

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Agreed. From what I can tell, a great man .

[@carolbush2742]

I love Toby, wish you the best. Please get well soon… Awesome song!

Awesome toby your still number 1 ❤

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Agreed!

[@godquest52]

Toby, I cried the first time I heard this, and now that you're gone, I am crying more profoundly. I am in my 70s, and I am trying to keep the old man outside, but I also have an affliction that will let him in faster than I want him to come in. The essence of spirit and the life in me is fighting to keep him out, but eventually, time will have its way with all of us. Old man time is unrelenting.

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Great story, thank you. Stay strong. If you're anything like me I'm throwing punches to the last day.

[@themanlyclub]

Right on brother. Great song, great discussion and great video.

[@thecommonsenseivore]

I appreciate that, thanks

[@scotteustice6230]

Ya same here. I'm 63 and it really strikes a chord with me. Transitioning into older age is tough at times, I have to force myself to get out everyday with my dogs

[@thecommonsenseivore]

I've learned that 55 that what I eat and consistent exercise, especially after losing 90 plus pounds, has turned the clock back significantly for me. Took a while to build the discipline but once I got that done I was off and running starting at 53.

[@rossrankin-yt8dt]

Thanks for that analogy…my thinking exactly!

I will be 69 this coming March, I get up every day, i don't stand still, i keep humor in my life. People look at me and say you're kidding .. 68 years old!? I say if you slow down or stop, the old man will catch you! For those that like to say you don't act that old, I say I've never been this age before so, I don't know how I am supposed to act! what a great song and your reaction is spot on!

[@thecommonsenseivore]

I love it, great comment. I get the same thing at 54 that you're get at 69 so that just tells me I'm on the right track and have the right lifestyle for the next 15 years.

[@jerrycarroll4581]

I'm 74 and still working and maintaining 3 BnB's in addition to my own house. This song let me know why I do it.

I'm sorry to hear that but I love your attitude

[@mikebland4935]

At age 72, my wife says I just need to slow down or quit working. I say, yes. I'm getting old but Nevertheless.

[@thecommonsenseivore]

I worry as soon as I slow down something bad is going to happen

[@mikebland4935]

@@thecommonsenseivoreSure, it could and it could also happen anyway. There are plenty of potholes along the road of life. Worry is itself a pothole. Move beyond worry and keep your eye on enjoying what's up ahead. God bless.

BiDumb got up & let the old man in years ago! When I get like BiDumb, I hope I’ll have the knowledge to say the “old man is in”? I feel like the young man is in everytime I’m with my grandbabies, even though I have to look “up” at them. Thank you Declan, Corbin, Desmond & Zoey for letting this old man in, NaNa & GpA love all of you!

Sir (speaking), I must say you took a very positive moment in this artist's life and turned it upside down... Perhaps if you had researched more and had more understanding, This interview wouldn't have been a sound of surrender to life in reference to age... This song is a renewal of life letting you live life to the fullest every day that you have... My intentions are not to insult you but hopefully to enlighten you ... Congratulation Tough Toby Keith on the sold out in Vegas for December all 3 shows 2023❤🙏 We love you and appreciate you taking a stand for...God and our Country USA. God speed.❤🙏 I apologize in advance if my statements have offended anyone, those were not my intensions I believe sometimes you just have to take a stand ...we depend on our reporters to give us correct information and not stumble what they're saying... Possibly doing damage in the process.

[@thecommonsenseivore]

I'm not a reporter, and I think the song is exactly about what I describe. If you feel different, good for you, we interpret the song differently. Oh yeah, and get a life.

[@joannjones544]

@@thecommonsenseivore Sir, I seem to have offended you... Certainly not my intentions... My intent Was only to help you achieve your best🙏❤ Peace be with you... Sending only love and light... You suggesting that I get a life... unfortunately you must think I don't have one ... I pray this is not projection on your part because it that would be sad, However Thank you for thinking about me and making the Suggestion. With this being a concern of yours let me assure you I do have a life and I live it to the fullest everyday... Celebrating life itself🙏

Miss Joann, please pardon any misspelling. This man has bought the lie after being covered with a delusion. It’s far beyond our pay grade to understand this man’s hostility. Sir, you may have added two or more to your 152 followers.

Toby is in remission now! But looks so thin. This was the first public performance he made after he went into remission

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Rooting hard for him. Let's hope he puts on some weight

[@deltadaze6836]

I hear it as a Christian who dies to the old man every day , that we are to stay on the right path and not fall back into the sins we have overcome. As a New Creature in Christ, I strive daily to not let the old man in.

[@WandaBates-sq9lb]

Did anyone notice how the lyrics…he rides up on his horse and you feel that cold bitter wind….relates to Revelations 6:8 …and I looked and beheld a pale horse and the name that sat upon him was death….Clint Eastwood movie Pale Rider

Stomach Cancer

[@susancrouthamel760]

Yes Stomach CA. I remember when Toby told everyone about this story n I have listened to this song over 100 times since God took him home. The night before this he had a party at home n decided to enjoy 3 glasses of wine n all thru night he was very sick ( I'm an RN n you should not drink alcohol having Stomach CA but I understand why he wanted to do that) Back stage before going on he said he was very weak ( he was moving slowly but he wanted to perform for everyone. I haven't listened to the end of your video as I'm at work but wanted to tell some more about that night. At rehearsal ( which he almost missed as he was sick) when the producer came up to Toby n handed him the song he wanted him to sing( of course it was this song)Toby said " this will be a bummer" he was planning to sing one of his upbeat songs as the one guy was singing his song "Who's Your Daddy" but he sang this as the producer said it felt right. Toby wrote this for everyone to live by. Of course the audience saw this as a farewell song from him. He said women n Men had tears in their eyes. The song exploded n went to number 1 the next day. Toby, we will not forget you n keep singing n writing songs for God n all the Angels heart ♥ ❤

[@thecommonsenseivore]

What a fantastic story! Thank you so much for adding it.

Its obvious that you didnt know much about Toby May he rest in Peace since you didnt even know which cancer he had so why make a video about this amazing Man.

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Imagine what it takes to literally type that out in a comment section.

[@bridielondon2764]

Awful comment about Tobys cancer, he shld have researched where Toby has cancer before commenting. He is just jumping on bandwagon.

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Oh no, the troll doesn't like I couldn't remember what his cancer was. Get out of Mom's basement and get a job, little thing.

[@christywhitehead3171]

He had stomach cancer from drinking too much

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Do they know that for certain as to the cause?

[@solace2023]

Christy, you opened your mouth and showed stupidity.

[@christinadolan119]

Toby has stomach cancer but the cancerous tumor is shrinking.

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Fingers crossed

[@christinadolan119]

Toby wants a new life. A life with meaning. A deeply religious man, he believes that if it is God's will he will get that chance.

[@christinadolan119]

I almost died three years ago when I had very extensive orthopedic surgery when I had a bad interaction with anesthesia. Believe me , it changes your outlook on life. I spent 8 days in the hospital with two days the surgeon not knowing if I was going to make it or not. My surgeon sat at my bedside, not a nurse. I have never known such kindness and concern. I understand Toby's lyrics but in a song the lyrics have many meanings very individual to the listener.

[@ellengundy4714]

Well said, Friend…

[@wilmaoberfrank1374]

I love Toby...but you should know what you are talking about. You didn't even know what cancer he has

[@thecommonsenseivore]

Oh know, I didn't know the exact cancer he had! The inhumanity of it all! Lucky for me there was an incredibly intelligent troll squatting in their mom's basement to set me straight. Congratulations.

[@brilliantblue4366]

Wow, Sir, the person either was directed to your account via recommendation or by strange algorithm it looked interesting to Wilma ober Frank who gave you an honest review of Mr. Keith. This person cared enough to listen to you thinking you would have something interesting to say. You didn’t. Not even a little. I’m very sorry your heart has hardened so. Mr. Keith is an icon to many of us. His songs seeded to our culture. We grieve for Mr. Keith and his family. I spent the last six months with my best friend who passed of liver cancer, only to be diagnosed three months later with non Hodgkin lymphoma. After going through surgery and radiation, I worked myself back to normal duty. Less than a year later my cancer spread throughout. I went through additional surgeries, chemotherapy and such, I was so thankful for my colleagues and friends. But it was Mrs. Parks, Michael Parks, siblings and church prayed for me. Like Toby credited God for bringing him through to now where he is with stomach cancer I thank God for saving me. God hears our prayers. I’m living proof. Praying for Mr. Keith and his family. We love you for all you have given to us. God bless. And I am going to pray that God softens your heart. You can unleash your wrath if you so desire but these folks didn’t deserve your wrath. We all feel pain in our lives but we do not deserve to be piled upon. May we all learn from this and be better people. May God bless each of you and give Mr. Keith comfort, peace and be engulfed by love.
