I am not a fan of country music.
However, I admit the guy had an Edge about him that made watchable to even the non-country music fan.
In that regard, he did have talent if he could grab anyone's attention.
Kinda like the Bruce Springsteen of Country Music.

I respect those who served or who have served in the US armed forces.
Admittedly however, I'm not fond of some of the people who send them into unnecessary wars.

Toby Keith never served in Uniform
Kris Kristofferson is bad ass mother fucker he was a US Army Ranger that volunteered for duty in Vietnam, Toby has the hypocracy to tell Kris to not go "Left wingy"

He’s a typical hypocritical conservative
I don't even know what that is. lol
Regardless of his political views the man could sing and was very charitable. Who cares what his political views were? It doesn't detract from his talent.

So what gives him the agency to badmouth a decorated veteran Kris’s Kristofferson’s politics?
That doesn't matter to me. He was a man whose music I still enjoy listening to. It ends there with me.

I see what you are saying Admin but I don't care if he was a cannibal, mobbed up or an assassin. His character has nothing to do with the songs he sang that I enjoy. His music is separate from all of that crap. What are you going to do, dislike every singer's catalogue because he offended someone else for whatever reason with his words? C'mon bro.

I don't get that. I mean really. The man just passed away. But it's ok when you guys say stuff like this.

If he was on the 'Right', I don't think Toby Keith was any worse than some historical artistic figures from that political persuasion.
ie - Salvador Dali is regarded as the Founder of Surrealism and one of the great painters of the 20th Century. At the same time, he was an ardent fascist who supported Franco and Hitler. Dali also turned against his so called friends on the other side who were ruined or even imprisoned as a result. For this reason, I have no desire to buy anything which is associated with Dali because he was a fucking horrible man. Actually it'd have been nice if someone put a bullet through his head. Every time I see his work now, I loathe and detest it associating it with sheer ugliness of the soul.
ie - Walt Disney was borderline fascist who also reported his enemies for 'un-American activites' - meaning those he considered too liberal or on the Left. He also destroyed his one time friend, Ubi Ewerks, who is credited as being the creator of Mickey Mouse, which Disney Studios profited handsomely from.
Given those who came before him and were considered conservative or on the Right, I don't think Toby Keith was such a terrible person or character. Merely being on the right or expressing unpopular views does not make a person a monster. At least compared with others, he aint.
Keith was never one of my favorite recording artists but I give him his due - he had presence and talent.

I don't know if you remember Oddzymandias from ages ago. Conventional cancer treatment saved her life. She is over 5 years into remission and got to see her daughter finish growing up and graduate college.

I worked with one of those skinny chain smoking drunks, who survived chemo and radiation...I saw him on his final day of chemo...I swear to god I had never seen a Walking Dead man, but that day it sure seemed like it. He gave up the beer and cigs started getting a little more exercise and looking good! He's running joke was a cracked rib saved his life, he went to his Dr. after slipping on his deck and slamming into his deck railing...ex rays showed the large mass in his lung.
