Once upon a time, I really liked Toby Keith's music. While I didn't *know* him, I felt like I knew him a little bit through his song writing and singing.

My wife REALLY liked him so I got her into his official fan club and we met him backstage and snapped a photo.

THEN George W Bush became POTUS.

And Keith went off the rails. So much so that he started writing jingoistic songs about "putting a boot in your ass" and other crap.

THEN he took a hard stand against the (then) Dixie Chicks. He was a big country radio personality, he knew it, and he used that to essentially get them blackballed.

He was so influential that they pretty much stopped performing altogether for some time.

I don't know that they ever "reconciled."

Today, I learned that Toby Keith had died.

I admit, I went from really liking him to not liking him at all.

But I never wanted him to get sick or die. Rest in peace.
