I appreciated his love of God and Country and his stand-up attitude. Despite it not being my genre of music I appreciate him as an American first and foremost. May God rest his soul.
My sentiments exactly. I'm not a huge country music fan, at least by todays music (I liked it up till the '80s, when it started to go 'modern'), but I loved his songs, attitude and love for our country.
His song "In America" was a big deal when he wrote it. It really helped bring America together at that time. That song still has a lot of meaning to me. I was only 13 when he wrote it, but it made a big impression on me.
