RIP Toby Keith (2 Viewers)

why admire someone that allows others to control their speech or refrain from expressing themselves while fearing others

how are those the only options?

Dude why?

RIP. Never listened to his music, but definitely a familiar name. Stomach cancer has gotta be one of the worst.

Stomach cancer killed Ronnie James Dio. No one except his wife even knew Dio had cancer until the end. He passed away in May 2010 six months after being diagnosed

Don't remember hearing anything about that. Wow.

I remember reading it at some point but not sure when. My dad died from stomach cancer as did my grandma. Probably how I'm going to go also.

Some people are just miserable and in 2024 we have to put up with them.

I would agree, not today. The exchange occurred at Willie Nelson’s 70th birthday party concert.

I don’t know if Toby Keith ever moderated the stance that provoked Kristofferson to respond as he did. Like I said, I’m not really a fan but no one should go out wracked with pain from cancer treatment.

My dad did kind of the same thing. I believe he thought for a long time it was an ulcer. When he did go to the doctor they missed the cancer or he never told us about it. Finally went to a hospital where they diagnosed him and he died 12 hours later.

Unfortunately, someone peeing in someone else's Cheerios will always be a thing.

Agreed but the Internet has made it so you can do that and face no consequences.

Indeed.

I loved Toby Keith the musician. Many of his songs just spoke to me. Cancer is such a terrible way to go.

One of my favorite TK songs. Love listening to this one while on the motorcycle.

i will say your motorcycle riding playlist is a thing of beauty

and i'm obviously not saying don't enjoy what/who you enjoy - but i also don't think that someone's passing automatically 'simplifies' their narrative
how a person lived and what they chose to say should be remembered - in a way it 'honors' them way more than glossing over does
