…I had to. I couldn’t resist. Too bad Garth Brooks went all nutso and his alter ego forced his career down into a fiery ball of flames. Because otherwise, he could start a rockin’ tour with this guy.
What? WHAT?! Cut me some slack. I grew up in Texas and Georgia, I appreciate crap fine, stellar music like this.
I grew up in Texas. I’m getting this guy’s music, if only to annoy my relatives. Who knows, I might even like it. Given what’s already on my ipod, it isn’t like I can claim superb taste in music anyway. BTW: What happened to Garth Brooks?
Okay, clearly, I can’t believe I’m responding to this topic and showing my Garth fan-dom…but here it goes.
1) Garth retired to raise his kids.
2) He did not have an alter ego (that album was released to promote a movie…but the movie was so bad, they never actually released it.)
3) No hating on the first country artist to speak out for gay couples!
Really? I feel less bad about buying 3 albums of his then. I had some vague impression that he’d turned out to be a jerk.
sssshhh. don’t tell. i’m a closet garth fan. “standing outside the fire” anyone? anyone?
Yup. His sister is gay. Back in 1992 he came out with the song “We Shall Be Free” for which he got a lot of flack and then said in the Village Voice that he supported gay marriage.
More recently on his new album, the pink edition, $10 of the $15 purchase price is going to Komen, so he can’t be that bad a guy.
