R.I.P.
About the only thing I really know about Toby Keith is that time Kris Kristofferson put him in his place:
"In 2009, actor Ethan Hawke wrote a guest story for Rolling Stone about this wild verbal altercation that went down at Willie Nelson’s 70th birthday concert back in 2003.
The night of the concert, Keith walked past Willie and Kris who were standing together, and told Willie “Happy birthday.”
But he then made a snarky remark to Kris, saying:
“None of that lefty shit out there tonight, Kris.”
Needless to say, Kris didn’t take to kindly to Keith’s remarks, and responded:
“What the f*ck did you just say to me?”
Willie knew Keith had just struck a nerve, saying:
“Oh, no. Don’t get Kris all riled up.”
Keith proceeded to say:
“You heard me.”
And began to walk away.
Kris responded:
“Don’t turn your back to me, boy.”
Keith:
“I don’t want any problems, Kris… I just want you to tone it down.”
Kris, a former Army Ranger and helicopter pilot, said:
“You ever worn your country’s uniform?
Don’t ‘What?’ me, boy! You heard the question. You just don’t like the answer. ‘Have you ever served your country?’ The answer is, no, you have not.
Have you ever killed another man? Have you ever taken another man’s life and then cashed the check your country gave you for doing it? No, you have not.
So shut the f*ck up… you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”
Kris then told those nearby:
“You know what Waylon Jennings said about guys like him? They’re doin’ to country music what pantyhose did to finger-fuckin.'”
