His style of country music wasn't to my tastes and I sided with Robert Earl Keen in their feud.

But, I live in the same town as Keith and drive by his home every day on my way to work. The man was deeply involved in the community and charitable works and deserves much credit for that. And, in an observation that is sure to blow a few minds, the only time I ever saw a sign for a political candidate on his property, they were local Democrats. I don't say that to inject politics into yet another thread here, but to point out that there is a depth and complexity to the man that may not have come across in his music.
