Toby Keith
I'm not sure if this has been shared in the 7-page thread, as I have not read all 7 pages.
However, I thought this was a cool story, and if it has been shared, it bears repeating.

Toby Keith Sings Duet With Former POW
quote:
May 9, 2003
quote:
Former prisoner of war Pfc. Patrick Miller got a huge surprise at a parade and rally in his honor Saturday _ courtesy of country star Toby Keith.
Miller, who enjoyed irritating his Iraqi captors by singing Keith's "Courtesy of the Red White & Blue," was reluctantly persuaded to strike up the tune with three school buddies during the homecoming in his childhood hometown.
They were cut off by Bobby Massey, pastor of Valley Center Assembly of God, who told them, "I think it would be better if we got someone who knows how to sing it."
quote:
Then Miller watched incredulously as Keith emerged from the crowd and strode up to the platform to sing the popular song. The crowd roared whenever Keith stepped back and let Miller sing a few choice lines in the song. Miller blinked back tears.
Keith said it was an easy decision to make the appearance in the town north of Wichita. "After finding out he was singing the 'Red White and Blue' to the Iraqis _ how can you say no?" he said.
Afterward, Keith presented Miller with the guitar he had played.
Keith quickly left after playing the song, telling reporters later he did not want to take the spotlight away from Miller. He later joined the soldier for a private lunch.
Full Story - RIP Toby Keith, you were a great one!

This hurts a lot more than I thought it would. Toby Keith is one of the good ones. Someone who walked the walk and talked the talk. I will never forget blasting “How Do You Like Me Now?” over and over again as a kid.
RIP Toby. May we meet in heaven one day.

That's the type of guy Toby was.
RIP
