Tuesday Morning Memes: Country Haters, Cat Ladies, Mainstream Record Labels

 

Thanks for the Music, Toby

 I'll leave the memorials and remembrances to better writers, but I'll miss Toby. I know we joked a lot about his bravado and drinking and putting boots in asses, but he was a hell of a songwriter with an iconic voice. His 90s output was so good, and even after he became a superstar, there were still many great songs amidst the chart fodder. Here are a few of the (non hatin') memes we posted about Toby over the years. RIP.
