That is a very touching song....I heard it for the first time coming home from the grocery store last week. Brought more than a few tears to my eyes it did.
Here's my favorite Toby song and video.

I hate to troll, but I can't stand any singer who blatently and openly takes advantage of patriotism to make money. It's kinda ironic how the first patriotic song of his, which may very well have been heartfelt, went huge and was almost IMMEDIATELY followed by multiple other generic 'patriotic' songs of his.
Toby Keith makes me sick. His music is all generic pop music top 40 country. It has no soul at all.
Hey All,
You mean like this?

The Wayman Tisdale song is good. I remember watching Wayman play ball. Nice of Toby to do that song. To me Toby is a real conundrum - I don't care much for him but I like alot of his music - odd.
As far as riding the patriotic American theme - yes he has and in much of Conservative America that sentiment is doing nothing but growing so he'll continue to have a market - so?

My heroes have always been cowboys and they all carried guns-
and they all rode horses-that is all but one.
When he went to the rescue he flew a Cessna plane.
His ranch was called the "Flying Crown" and "Sky King" was his name. -Jim Dilly-
The rich man writes the book of laws that the poor man must defend, but the highest laws are written on the hearts of honest men. - Ricky Skaggs-
Hell, he's country, what's not to like. And he likes bars.

Looks like the boys at JibJab had a hand in that video, Ed.

he ain't bob hope but he has done plenty of stuff for the troops.
to accuse him of ripping off patriotic sentiments is a bit of a stretch, imo.
after all, politicos do it all the time, and they're not even entertaining!
maybe that's just his "thing". the sentiments he conveys in his music are very southeast/middle class/blue collar/regular joe type feelings. that's country, imo.
things evolve and change. they can't all be hank williams. in a time when being american isn't popular, i'm glad to see someone who is proud to portray the kind of american that most americans know as a neighbor.
you wouldn't believe the attitudes i get from people up here as soon as they realize i'm american.
consider yourself lucky. my neighbor across the hall is a mental case/drug addict/prostitute. she's also wealthy. today i went AGAIN to be a witness against her in court, trying to help my landlord evict her. we've been working on this for about 8 months.
Cheezy, I usually take your side, but what has he done for the troops besides profit of our blood? I've been forced to go to concerts of his before against my will. Most people at his concerts in theatre are annoyed to be there. Essentially he used us to sell albums by shooting video of us at his concerts.
You get firced to do a lot of wierd things in the military, but not in the way you'd think. I don't think of military leadership as more forceful or dictating than the civilian world, because people are going to tell you to do your job anywhere. They shouldn't have to. Anyway, like I was saying about getting told to do wierd stuff:
We have terms like "rent-a-crowd" and "voluntold". Sometimes leadership that conjur up unpopular events in good faith, or need a sea of faithful 'supporters' for some unknown individual with a lot of rank, people get told to be somewhere and like it. Celebrities sometimes tour warzones for their own image to show their 'support' for the troops. It's good publicity for them.
It just makes you feel like a tool when you're told to appear as part of a crowd for a celebrity that you could care less about. Believe you me, there are plenty of comedians and other personalities that appear without cameras to give us a good laugh or good time. Question the motives of anyone who makes a production out of it, like Toby Kieth.
Hmm this Toby Keith song describes me best... sans the twins.

tbo it never really occoured to me that he might be doing that.
but for me, it doesn't really change anything. the music is still entertaining (for me) but i wasn't buyin his stuff to begin with. i don't buy that much music anymore. cash shortage re arranges priorities.
right now i'm more concerned with chocolate pudding
and bananas
Well, Toby's latest offering, "Red Solo Cup"...is SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!
Just go to his website. There's a link to the video. It's great!

This is an old thread that NC bumped back to life with his post.
