Ep. 67 - Toby Keith | Last Days Podcast

On February 5, 2024, Toby Keith - the country star whose songs about patriotism and blue-collar values made him one of the most successful musicians of all time - died of stomach cancer. Keith was an exceptionally talented singer and songwriter, but perhaps his greatest gifts were his intelligence and his authenticity, which gave him unique perspectives on war, politics, and friendships, and the ability to change minds and challenge stereotypes.

He was coming from a place of Real Life Experience, stayed true to his beliefs & did not pre judge a book by its cover . His intelligence level was far above a college degree, it’s called Common Sense, he wasn’t a follower, he was a leader. Sadly gone too soon, but left an endearing mark on earth never to be forgotten. ❤❤❤

[@nancyjones9925]

So true. Well said!

[@bf4744]

Still can't listen to Don't Let the Old Man In without crying. Still don't seem real that he's gone.

[@KathrynReid-x9w]

I will to remember my neighbor and remember family he is your Guardian Angel

[@angelp.5224]

Toby Keith was a kind, loyal, intelligent, patriotic family man. He will always be a legend in Country Music. What I remember about his song was the rise in patriotism ❤ His service and support of the troops. He had a beautiful voice and was very deep. I had the pleasure of meeting him in a private bar in Nashville ❤ Back when you shouldn't kiss me like this....love that great sense of humor 😄 Then he has that CA hospital. What a legacy

[@debra9853]

Hes was 500 million. He spent 100 million tring to cure his cancer. Treatments everywhere.

[@debra9853]

He was just nice to every one, as human beings. It wasn't about politics, it's about whats right.

[@debra9853]

That's why he was independent. He swings both ways, depending on what's right. Not party's.

[@TheBella2u]

❤Toby was a Democrat early on. A proud American who loved the troops and played for them often.

[@conniekaiya3138]

He did not remain a democrat. Became independent !! 🙌🏼

[@BruceLee-t9n]

So are you trying to say Republicans ain't proud Americans?

[@lauraparker1835]

Yes but he changed, he didn't support their liberal minded beliefs or actions!!

[@tiffprendergast]

@@BruceLee-t9nyes they are

[@tiffprendergast]

@@lauraparker1835yup

[@renossnowflake]

Toby did not write Red Solo Cup.

[@mandyholmberg5106]

RIP Toby Keith

[@PandaBEARDADDY]

Rest in peace big dog

[@AnnieCheddie]

Tk you were such a tender hearted was. 15:43 human being to rezlise that iit

[@carolgale]

How do you know he suffered with stomach problems for years? He was treated at A D Anderson in Texas.

[@BruceLee-t9n]

Who cares if he wasn't college educated. That doesn't mean anything

[@bf4744]

When did he admit he was an alcoholic? I've never heard or read that and I've watched a lot of his interviews.

[@JeannieBeach-gf4sw]

Empty solo cups !

[@JeannieBeach-gf4sw]

The DC need to realise how they behaved ! Sad Wish them well .

[@BruceLee-t9n]

I always get Tobey Keith & Keith urhan mixed up. I also get Dermot Mulroney and Dillon McDermott mixed up. Rest in Paradise Tobey

[@debra9853]

Why didn't they catch it a few years earlier, when he had gallbladder surgery. They reconstructed his stomach to take cancer. Ruin y . Makes them not absorb much. Like they do on obese surgery, but his was for cancer.

[@MaryAnnMyers-rf5bn]

I read he did not ever have an Endoscopy....I do my Mom passed from stomach cancer I am high risk...Get that once a year.

[@Scottwilkie18]

R I p

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Other nuanced country folk are Garth and Trisha, Dolly Parton, Willie , Johnny Cash, Meryl Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Chesney and so many more. I loved Toby but the song was used poorly.

[@PandaBEARDADDY]

When did Toby realize that America was a huge part of doing 9.11 ? Did he know the history of why the military went over seas .?!!!!!!

[@SassyKat7895]

Can’t listen to “Don’t let the Old Man In” at all.

[@debra9853]

Tge song was about americas tgat were upset about 911, tgeur feelings about that day how we felt. How terrorist abuse us. They k8lled inocent americas.

[@nancyjones9925]

Who gives a shit what natalie maines thinks!!!

[@debra9853]

Ended her career talking about bush. She was never the same. Still not.

[@fungirl4027]

Where are you getting your information from? His cancer was never in remission. 🙄

[@angelp.5224]

No, it wasn't. He had regrowth and eventually said no more treatment. I'm gonna live while I can. What a lesson

[@DeannTaylor-ht6vt]

He did not write Red Solo cup- he said he thought it was stupid but knew it would be a hit.

[@violetnewcomb1195]

Love Toby keith ,Gone too soon Miss you Cowboy

[@kboettighe]

Miss Toby Keith so much.
