- “We hit it off like a house afire” says Stephen Colbert about his first meeting with country legend Toby Keith, who became a frequent guest on “The Colbert Report” and later performed on “The Late Show.” The two men made an unlikely pair, in Stephen’s words, “like when a duck and a horse are friends.” Thank you, Big Dog.

Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and “THE LATE SHOW band,” the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015. - Развлечения
Years before Toby was ever diagnosed with cancer an old original bandmate's two year old daughter was diagnosed with a tumor. Toby got them into St Jude, which he had been supporting for years. They were unable to save the little girl but after seeing the model of St Jude providing housing, and everything else the children's families need to be able to be with them during their treatment free of charge. He was inspired to create his own foundation in Oklahoma, The OK Kids Korral, where they provide those same services for the families of children going through cancer treatments at OU Medical's cancer treatment center. That to me sums up the character of the man.
Only one problem; this is the tale put out by his marketing agent, whose idea it was to create the OK Kids Korral, in order to improve Toby's image to people like you. Normally, people don't need to put out press statements like that to do good works.
@@nadiamccall4311what a POS person you are, I can’t imagine living so miserable, they didn’t put this information out from his marketing, it was put out by the people who lost their daughter, he clearly lived in a way that he didn’t have to try to improve his image, he was obviously good to people around him, maybe you should think of doing the same!
@@nadiamccall4311 If Colbert says Toby Keith is a good dude, Toby Keith is a good dude. Whether its a marketing stunt or not (do we know how much TK contributes to the foundation?), kids and their families are receiving a great service when they're going through a very tough time.
@@nadiamccall4311 Wow, that sounds really cynical. Where did you hear that it was his agents idea and that he didn't really want to help people?
@@nadiamccall4311
If they don't put the word out how will people know that it exists?
Regardless of the reason millions will be helped.
It still says a lot about this good man in my opinion.
🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
I’ll be joining Toby Keith soon I have been battling throat cancer. I’ve lived a good 65 years. I doubt I’ll be here at 66. I’ll see you soon Toby.
I wish you and those you care about peace and solace.
Peace to you brother
God bless you, sir. I wish you journeys of peace.
FUK CANCER, bless you Brother
Ride it 'til the wheels come off, man. But when your journey is over, Godspeed. You've earned your rest.
Toby considered himself a "conservative Democrat", basically he saw positives on both sides of the aisle. He didn't like politics, he loved America. That's something a lot of people need to get with today. He was a great guy and will be missed.
If Stephen Colbert and Toby Keith can respect each other and be friends, maybe there’s hope for this country yet.
Hell yeah. We will always have more in common with eachother than we are different❤
Probably not, this is one of the few times hes been a decent person.
@@Ryan-li8qc Are you daft? Toby Keith was always a decent person, no not decent, an amazing person. Way better than you can ever hope to be after this BS comment.
Did not expect Colbert to give a more touching tribute than most of his fellow country singers. He got me at the end when he got choked up. I have a new respect for Stephen and I am sorry you lost your friend sir.
and his greater message of appreciating the whole person and not dwelling on the things you disagree with is very much needed now. Too much polarization of "both' sides. It's tearing this country up. Comes just as much from the Left as the Right. Everyone has to own their part in it.
Well said.❤
When push comes to shove we're all human beings at our core. The disagreements will always be there (some people being angrier than others), but it comes with the territory due to different upbringings.
I'm far from being a country music fan (not part of the target audience), but I respect its legacy and significance. Toby was one of the greats.
Well said 🥺❤️
Colbert is a class act!
That was a great tribute Colbert... Rest in peace Toby Keith.
ai bot
I totally almost always disagree with your monologs , an your constant attack on certain people , but your Tribute to Toby Keith brought me to tears..he is a legend , Thank you.
I agree
The first time I didn’t want to throw something at the TV at Cobert
It was a total bullshit tribute by the most blatant propagandist of this era
As a South Carolinian I am sorry that you are not from California. However thank you for your tribute for Toby Keith.
Have never watched your show and you could care less. Gonna make you mad.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
I did not expect that from Colbert. This says a lot about Toby and who he was. God rest his soul.
I appreciate your tribute to Toby Keith. 20 years ago I was in the Air Force and stationed at Tinker AFB (Oklahoma City). Toby Keith would occasionally appear unannounced in the bleachers to watch squadron softball games. No fanfare. But the guys noticed. It meant a lot to the guys. I’ll always remember and appreciate that about him.
Oorah!
@@kristinLB that's for Marines, but I'm sure he gets your good intentions. 😉
Maybe he was feeling guilty for being such a bigoted cheerleader for the illegal war, predicated on lies, that his pals Chancellor Cheney and W sent so many service people to die or be maimed in? Could be.
This is the exact thing all of us need to do with eachother, huge respect to Stephen for telling a story of correcting himself to get to know someone’s character before judging them
Colbert looks like a small woman next to Toby.
I DO NOT LIKE Colbert, but I gotta give him kudos for this. Bravo Colbert. I wish we could get back to disagreeing without hate.
...of course, he had Joy Reid on this episode (big hater), so there's still that - disappointing.
Oh yeah, Colbert always does just that🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@georgearmstrong681 So many pansies with widdle hurt feewings in the comments.
Screw politics. Be humble. Love one another.
While I may not agree with Steven Colbert he outdid himself with a heartfelt Tribute
To Toby Keith
Stephen is underrated in the category of great men. I love his intelligence and insight and gentleness. I can’t believe he got me crying over Toby Keith.
You realize he's paying tribute to a racist bigot who made songs about openly murdering black people, right?
Couldn’t believe it either, but I cried too. When he said he’d looked down at his shoes & asked himself “what am I doing?” I was floored. A very decent man remembering another very decent man. Let’s pass it on.♥
Great men???? Get real.
he constantly belittles people who dont agree with him and took the opportunity to get an easy W
I watched Stephen Colbert last night and the tribute he gave to Toby Keith left me crying. It was one of the best tributes I've ever heard about anyone!
Thank you Stephen, RIP Toby 😢😭
#FuckCancer
Dude was a jingoistic racist or at least played one for money and fame. No great loss.
@@videoaccount4323Tell me how the f**k he was a racist.
@@videoaccount4323 what a miserable and insufferable person you are.
@@videoaccount4323 you are a sad individual
Wow!!! I met him at my job. I work for Ford Motor Company and he did a commercial for our F150’s at Dearborn Truck Plant around 2004. I was a union rep and didn’t know him. At the time I believe he just won some Grammys. I happen to be outside when he pulled up. He was surprised I never heard of him and asked for my name. When it came time to do the commercial, EVERYONE was excited to see him. When he saw me he said my name in front of everyone. The shocked look on their faces made me feel like I hit the mega bucks!! I played it off like I personally knew him. That was such an awesome day and unforgettable moment for me. May he rest in paradise 😊
Great story. I'm sure he had less fans in Dearborn than Claycomo 🙂. Glad they welcomed her up north as well.
This needs to go viral. The terrible things I've seen said by people who simply didn't agree with Toby's politics are so disheartening. Stephen gave an amazing tribute right here. Like a genuine human should. Rest easy, Toby.
Didn't like his politics at all but I loved his music and he seemed like a really nice guy.
a dead asshole is still an asshole
Thank you Stephen for putting differences aside and honoring a good man and a legend. We need more of this in our country right now...putting differences aside and finding common ground. RIP Patriot
The problem is when you can't agree on human rights there is no middle ground.
Amen 🙏🏻 it was a great tribute and I second that. We definitely need more, putting our differences aside and finding common ground. We are all humans and we are all Americans 🇺🇸. Rest in peace, Toby. I’m a huge country music fan and I was a huge Toby Keith fan are used to rock out in the car to should’ve been a cowboy when it was first released as my mom or dad was driving us somewhere. I totally group or 90s country and Toby was one of my favorites from the moment he came on the music scene. Then, as I grew up and became an adult, I admire him as a person. Thank you Toby for everything and thank you Stephen for honor and Toby and such kind words. And I’m glad you found friendship with someone that you may not agree on everything with it shows great character in both parts. RIP to the Legend Toby Keith. 😢💔🙏🏻🇺🇸
100 %
@@materialgrl2000 you’re never going to get everyone to agree on human rights. Stop beating yourself up over it, life is too short. The best thing we can do is love each other and accept each other for who we are.
@@materialgrl2000 The problem is THAT ATTIDUDE which you immediately took with your reply.
There IS middle ground and we must find it. That is how this nation was built.
There is more than just the negative connotation of the word 'compromise'.
We FIND a way or we MAKE a way to work together, or we FAIL; 'A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand.' How do people not understand that very simple logic?
Had no idea these two were friends. What a great thing to see past differences and find the common part of us to share. Thanks Stephen for the tribute to him. I only met him once but he was funny and kind. Rest in Peace Toby
A class act. Thank you for keeping alive the fact that you can disagree with someone and still like and be friends with them.
bs colbert is a fing communist
Stephen, I disagree with you politically on almost everything, but this is one of the most heartfelt tributes I've seen to the memory of Toby Keith. Thank You and Rest Easy Toby....
Was thinking the samething
This shows me that opposites can find common.ground
Same, I don’t like Colbert, but I respect this so much
What a lovely tribute! I always love it when someone breaks a stereotype, and in this case, they both did.
Colbert gained my respect with this beautiful message...RIP Toby
As much as I don't care for Colbert, I appreciate his empathy and humanity. I appreciate him being a stand-up person.
The tribute was very nice. I don't care for Colbert either with all his POLITICS - but this is about Toby Keith. I never realized what a special man he was. GOD, Family and Country. Condolences to your family. Well done Cowboy - you will be so missed.
I just hate how woke and liberal he is…….Conan lasted so long cuz he never brought his politics into his entertainment
@@kdizzle901Yeah, and Colbert will have such a short career because of it. Wait what...
@@kdizzle901 sorry that he talks about the world as it is??? What can you not handle reality?
@@echogl if you don't like the world getting political then feel free not to vote.
As a vet, I loved his patriotism. He had a special place in the hearts of my 3 sons, all who joined the military after 9/11. Two of them went to Iraq. His "boot up your a** song" resonated with the people in the military that went to the middle east after 9/11 on a level most civilians will never get. And it inspired people when he toured the middle east and sang it. Just watch videos where the crowds he sang to over there react to that song. In some ways, he was a modern day Bob Hope, as he would go places other entertainers wouldn't even consider. I am a fan of many of his songs, and will always be grateful for his support of the military and veterans, as I come from a long line of those that have served. Will very much miss him. He was a great talent, with a heart of gold, that cared about people in ways many entertainers don't. Thanks for the tribute to a wonderful human being.
Your tribute is a reminder of the intelligence, decency and compassion of our funniest citizens. Thank you for telling us about your friendship with Toby Keith. I extend my condolences to the Keith family to his friends like you who will miss him terribly.
Well said ma'am 💞🌹🌹❤😂
That was the most touching tribute to Toby I've seen thus far. Genuine. Thanks for that Mr. Colbert. RIP Big T.
I don’t know this show, but a beautiful tribute to a man of incredible patriotism, integrity and principle. RIP Toby ❤
Holy shit, that was the old Colbert. More of this please
I never met him, but my parents used to print his Easy Money Band t-shirts when he was starting out. He chose a small no name T-shirt screen printing shop to do his shirts. He treated my parents with respect and courtesy. I considered him my "Oklahoma Brother". I loved his music, and respected the man. A great patriot, and a mighty fine person. Respect.
Thank you Stephen Colbert, for this beautiful tribute to Toby Keith. I needed those reminders about our humanity. And I will really miss Toby Keith, RIP. 😭😭💕
😢
Touching tribute by Stephen
Had no idea they were friends...that's true friendship,to be able to set aside political differences and be there for one another.
RIP Big Dawg
I was fortunate enough to have seen Toby Keith twice in concert. He was an amazing performer and artist.
Rest In Peace, Toby!
Hello beautiful 👋🌹, how are you doing?....I’m sorry for Invading your privacy, i was on my scrolling mode then I saw you and stop to say hi…I hope you don’t mind.
Steven's tribute to Toby Keith moved me to tears😢. Prayers to his family and his legions of fans😞🙏💔.
I once had dinner with Toby Keith in a small camp in the Philippines. Even though we only had around 100 troops on that base, he graciously traveled halfway around the world to see us and give us a private concert. Til Valhalla, Toby!
First class, Stephen. Absolutely first class. RIP Toby.
This really surprised me. What a lovely tribute.
I'm crying, I'am a rock fan, but I love Toby Keith songs an personality, this was a very lovely remembrance
That how big his impact was .. I’m not a country music fan never listen to his music But I knew how Good of a human he was! Rip friend!
Stephen is a class act, I’m learning from him in meaningful ways.
I had learned of his passing much earlier today but it wasn't until I watched this video that I shed a tear for his passing. Thank you for humanizing him. And also for pointing out how we might disagree with people but we can always find common ground. Once again Stephen Colbert points out that he is a beacon for honest truth and respect. Even for people we disagree with. And that is why I have been a long time fan.
Thank you
I have to say I am not a Steve Colbert fan, however I will say I love his tribute to Toby. It’s very sad that something like this has to happen for us to come together. God bless Toby and his family!
Respect earned and wise words Mr. Colbert. RIP to an American legend.
That was a beautiful tribute, really beautiful, so many people dying of cancer and so many around 62 or 63...I am 63, 6 months remission from head and neck cancer.....every time someone else passes.....i am reminded of this gift, this life, the brevity of it, and how petty and small these differences are or should be.....this was a great example of open hearts and good intentions, the right intentions, thank you.....
Buddah says, "The meaning of life is in death."
Also, "We learn the most important lessons when we lose the things we feel are most important."
🙏
Wishing you continued health and healing
I’ve tried most recently, since a dear friend’s daughter was diagnosed with cancer, to do my best to give thanks for the blessings we have, and meditate, however briefly, to send a small ripple of goodwill into the world. That young lady - mother to 2 elementary schoolers - is currently in remission as well. I do hope you, Gingercook, continue to grow stronger and healthier.
Anyone who beats cancer is an absolute badass. Live life to the fullest!
My mom passed just over a year ago at the age of 61. I was and still am devastated. You're right. This is a gift and we're glad you're still here.
You can disagree with the things someone says, but still love and respect them as a human... beautiful tribute...RIP Toby 💔
More humans need to take this to heart these days
Amen. Just because we might have different opinions and views, doesnt mean we cant be friends. We need to remember this... thanks for the beautiful tribute.
Toby Keith was my favorite musician for a long time. I went to one of his concerts as a kid, about 11 or 12. It was pouring down rain, but I was out there in my cowboy hat singing right along. A true patriot.
His friendship with Colbert always struck me, because it goes to show that you don't need to always agree with your friends, just have mutual respect. RIP
Four years ago, Toby Keith came to our little town to play at a Music Fest. My Son and my Best Friend were close to the front and Toby brought them up on the stage to sing with him and just clown around a little bit. They spent the entire evening hanging out. Toby Keith was "Real". I have a picture of him, my friend and my Son, shoulder to shoulder having a cold one from a Solo Cup. My Son in that picture is the only one left now. My Son and I miss them both. Rest in Peace Toby and Rick.
Mr. Colbert, I can't say I'm a fan of yours but that was an excellent tribute. Well done.
You can disagree on politics and still be a fan of someone’s character. Colbert is an example of what every American should aspire to be.
@nbigsby It's tough to watch him complain about how we're all getting angrier at each other when he has consistently tried to "other" everyone who leans right of center ever since he took the reins of The Late Show. He is an agent of the type of division that he claims to dislike. So many of our political leanings are influenced by our parents, by our families, and by those who surround us. If everyone who has ever shown you kindness thinks one way, then you'll naturally be inclined to think that way as well (at least some of the time). I'm all for calling out extremism, but chastising average people who lean slightly right or left is barely one step above attacking someone for an immutable characteristic. I enjoyed the Colbert Report because he didn't take himself so seriously back then and he gave both sides their due criticism. He has lost his way. This was a nice tribute and a rare moment of honesty, clarity, and nuance for Colbert version 2.0, but I can't see myself tuning in much and I certainly don't see him as "an example of what every American should aspire to be".
@@n0-one0 you’re literally saying because you don’t agree with him politically you won’t be watching him (which could translate to you don’t like his character). Politics isn’t everything and you can disagree with that and still be friends with them. I have two friends who lean very far to the right while I lean more to the left. They’re my two best friends.
Many of my close friends are my political opposites. I just had lunch with one. I won't watch Colbert anymore because he regularly insinuates that everyone who doesn't shill for big pharma and the neo-con warmongers in the democratic party are idiots. Also his writing staff at The Late Show are unfunny hacks. I watched the Late Show every night when Letterman hosted, and he has different politics than I do as well. He just never talked down to regular people.
Why are u even here if you’re not a fan 🙄
Nice tribute Steven and he's right NEVER judge anyone
He said prejudge, you can still judge just not before you meet someone
Toby Keith was a great performer, talented song writer, dedicated family man and humanitarian. He was a good man. Thank you for that heartfelt memorial, Mr. Colbert.
I live in Norman Oklahoma, just a mile or two from where he lived. I’ve always, always felt like I (we) didn’t *really* know him. I know 100% that people in my circle pre-judged him, and I’d always remind them of how for the longest time, based on the sign out on his property, he had supported many local democratic politicians running for office here. In that way, he was an enigma.
I didn’t know him. He seemed to be quietly existing among us. As huge of star he was, nobody here had anything bad to say about Toby Keith, the person. A man deserving of so much respect, I think. May he rest in peace. And as always, fuck cancer.
Ameen ❤ from Tulsa.
May his family have the strength and support to deal with his loss.
Amen
Stay cool 😎
Amen to that fuck cancer I have stage 4

The wonderful lessons we can learn by getting to know someone is beautiful. Well said. Rest in peace Toby Keith.
What a touching tribute. Just goes to show that despite our differences we shouldn’t judge people before meeting them.
Never been of Colbert until now. AWESOME tribute sir
Not a huge Colbert fan, but this is A+ class. Well done.
Can’t say I’m a big fan of Colbert, but he had an authentic classy tribute to the icon Toby Keith! RIP Mr. Keith
What a beautiful, heartfelt tribute. I can’t imagine how many people must be feeling this loss. I hope his music and his memory bring peace and comfort to everyone who loved him.
Holy f’ng shit
Honesty, absolutely from Colbert.
Respect. Finally.
All of us should take Mr. Colbert's tribute to heart and embrace our fellow Americans. We used to do that. But, especially in the last 10 or 20 years, that tradition has been on the decline. Thank you Mr. Colbert for reminding us of how things should be
What a beautiful eulogy. 🎉my heart goes out to everyone who knew him and loved him.
Like Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg, you never know where two great friends will spring up from. Good for you Stephen, a heartfelt tribute to a true American, from a true American.🇺🇸
So true, lovely comment.
I guess everyone forgot how he divided the nation during the Bush years and championed a war based on lies in which thousands of Americans died
Beautiful comment. Very true.
I was trying to think of another unlikely duo and here it was 🙏
or Alice Cooper and Glen Campbell
some breath taking words... Toby Keith will be missed
This was a wonderful tribute on so many levels. Well done Stephen. You got a new fan.
Thank you Stephen Colbert for the beautiful and heartfelt tribute to Toby Keith.
A really beautiful memorial tribute. Stephen has the best words. He knows what they mean and he uses them well!

I have no words. Colbert, we are polar opposites, but you get it. That was the finest tribute I have ever witnessed. Amen and Wow! Beautiful!
Rest in Peace Toby Keith! Thank you Mr. Colbert. My condolences to Toby's Family, Friends and Fans. Such a loss in so many ways!
Bless you, Stephen. Such a nice tribute to Toby without getting political. A nice tribute from the heart. Humankind.
So much respect for Stephen Colbert making a tribute to Toby Keith.
Rest in peace. You are up there now with our dads. Damn....
Hail and Farewell to one of Country music’s legends, Toby Keith. During sad moments like this I always remember the lesson that physics teaches us. Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only change form. My poet’s interpretation is that energy like Toby’s creative spirit/soul remains intact surrounding everyone he touched. RIP Toby and thank you for all of the music ❤️
Wow, I did not know he passed. What a touching tribute. Stephen is always a class act.
It was only on the fifth, very recent.
I loved the story he told of meeting Toby and how it encouraged him to respect his guests as people, not what he thinks they are before meeting them.
RIP Toby
I didn't know either.
I'm not a huge country western fan but there are some artists that I really like & Toby Keith was definitely one of them.
Thank you for your music, Mr. Keith. I'm sure the Old Man will be smiling when he lets you in. You will be missed.
No he is not. He's a rich liberal asshole.
@@quantumbuddhistso…you missed the point of Stephen’s commentary on this vid eh?
Oh man, Stephen was getting emotional toward the end. What a beautiful tribute. I hope we all take his words to heart.
And this is why I love Stephen Colbert. He’s a class act. ❤ RIP Toby
RIP Toby. I was never into country music but while in the service, I encountered many men and women in our armed forces that enjoyed his music. I am grateful that that Toby brought so much joy and comfort to them in times when things may not been joyful or comfortable . Thank you Toby for all that you did for us. RIP
Well I wasn’t expecting to feel this (never a Keith fan) but Colbert is right. An honest and decent tribute. I learned something.
You know what this was VERY well done. I don't agree with Colbert but he was absolutely a true Legend here.
What a great singer.Always in our hearts.
Growing up in Moore, Oklahoma, Toby was the hero. Ride high Cowboy...
My sister is the Marketing Director at the Ranchmans' Cookhouse and Dance Hall in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Mr. Keith first appeared there in 1988, with The Easy Money Band. A few years ago, when Mr. Keith sang "I Love this Bar", he dedicated it to the Ranchmans'. Remembering him today, my sister wrote, "Each and every time he performed in Calgary he always invited me to his show and/or stopped by for a steak sandwich and a visit, often getting up and jamming with the band...So gracious and kind to remember his roots. Thanks for your music. Rest in peace my friend." I know how close she is to all whose work she and the Ranchmans fostered and promoted over the decades. May Mr. Keith's memory be for a blessing.
I'm so broken hearted he passed away at the age of 62yrs old and how he suffered . They needed another great singer and that is why he's not here with all the great songs 😢. Rip Toby Keith everybody loved you . Message coming from Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
I am not a fan of Colbert but that was a beautiful, heartfelt tribute. Well done Stephen. R.I.P. Toby
Toby Keith didn't turn the wars into a political debate. He believed in supporting our troops wherever they were. He made about 20 trips to Iraq and Afghanistan. I've loved his music from the first time I heard it.
Great message. We need to unite and not divide. That’s what our country should be about.
Heart wrenching to know that he’s left us. His song “I love this bar” was and still is a classic and a joy to listen to with my family, especially on long road trips.
RIP Toby Keith.
I’m an Oklahoman. I went to church with Toby growing up. Toby and Stephen are very different and I never knew they’d even met. This was beautiful by Stephen. I hope we can all learn a little bit from this.
That was a great tribute Colbert...
Rest In Peace Toby (Legend)Kieth
Job Well Done, Sir
Toby through your music, & video's you will never be forgotten.
#John 3 :16...Everlasting life in heaven. Love and prayers to his Friends & family,
What a beautiful tribute. And equally beautiful perspective.
That was beautiful Stephen. I saw Toby in West Michigan. My marriage was on the rocks and life was not good at all but, his music was a note of hope that summer. Thanks Toby Keith for the music and humanity. It will be missed.
I can't thank Toby enough for supporting the troops and making many trips into harm's way to let all of them know how thankful we are as a nation for their service. When your kids are out there on the frontline, things change as a parent. RIP Toby.
Rest in peace sweet man, Toby 🙏❤️
Thank you Stephen Colbert - I needed to hear that sermon - seriously - thank you, and may Toby Keith RIP - so let's raise our RED SOLO CUPS to Toby Keith - whoo-hoo! ! !
Such a touching tribute, Stephen. Thank you. I'm not a big country fan (despite being raised on it) but Toby Keith was one of the few country singers I can genuinely say I like.
We'll never forget him. 💔
Well said ma'am 💞🌹❤❤❤😢😢😢
Such a sad loss! Thank you Stephen for honoring Toby Keith. He will be missed ❤
Toby was a real one. I was lucky enough to meet him at a Waylon Jennings tribute show at the Moody Theater in Austin TX and when everyone was rounded up to sing "Luckenbach, Texas," he was one of the few singers on stage that didn't have to look down at the teleprompter for the lyrics. We had a nice chat after and took some photos and he did it all with grace and a smile on his face. Great tribute, Stephen.
Beautiful tribute to Mr. Red, White and Blue. I loved TK's passion for all things American.
Not a country music fan nor a Toby Keith fan, but a friend of Stephen is a friend of mine.
Sorry you lost your horse pal, little ducky.
I grew up in Norman Oklahoma. My high school was Norman North High School. We have this charity event there every year called SPUD (students performing unselfish deeds). It raises hundreds of of thousands of dollars for local families in need. He would donate so much to them every year to help his community. Heck of a guy
Thanks dude and Toby was a great man. A true patriot.
R.I.P... He was a good man. My Dad was a veteran and respected him for caring. And I am end stage heart failure. Waiting too be put on list for heart transplant but more likely hospice. So song has a lot of meaning. And for him too dedicate Toby Keith. Tim Mcgraw always a class act
Thank you Stephen for paying tribute to this true American Icon! There will never be another Toby Keith!💔
