Introduction
Some songs are written to entertain, and some are written because the writer had no choice but to get the words out. Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” falls firmly into that second category. Released in 2002, the song was born out of Toby’s grief after losing his father, a proud Army veteran, and the anger that swept the nation following the September 11th attacks.
