Toby Keith, who injected Nineties and 2000s country music with an unapologetic dose of patriotism and an unrelenting swagger in songs like “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American),” “How Do You Like Me Now?!”, and “Who’s Your Daddy?”, died Monday following a diagnosis of stomach cancer.
