I might as well called this guy's sister a whore...
because he spewed out some of the most vile language I have ever heard.
"Toby Keith is the biggest piece of shit. No talent horse fucker."
At this point in my life I didn’t even really know who Keith was...
So I did some research. I understand that most Toby Keith's songs could have been found in a Wal-Mart Brand edition of “Red, White and Blue MadLibs...”
But I still don't know why that guy blew up at the mention of Keith's name.

Did you know I once punched a kid in the nuts just because someone dared me to do it?
I was only 6 at the time, so you can't pull my man card...
Back to the topic:
It's true Toby Keith has some basic patriotic lyric machine in his basement...
Let's take a look -
Actual Keith lyrics from "American Soldier"...
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door,
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey I'm true down to the core,
Wolf? I thought the sign of the apocalypse is an Iphone that learns to think for itself and downloads the "kill humans" app.
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice,
You've counted up the cost? So you mean to tell me a person who is a genius at math... just elects to "join" the army?
Oh wait, it’s a metaphor? Fuck your metaphors!
Oh, and I don't want to die for you,
But if dyin's asked of me, I'll bear that cross with an honor...
I guess we don't have to twist your arm too much... "I won't do it...no way... unless you say please that is."
Now I took these lyrics out of context, sure...
And I do like me some "As good as I once was"
(It's battling neck and neck with "A Spoonful of Sugar" as my karaoke song)
But c'mon Songwriter/Artist of the decade? Not when one of your song titles is "Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus."
Next you'll tell me a black dude can sing country too...
