Not exactly. That was the announcement BEFORE the announcement. He's apparently flying Nashville media-types to Vegas to make the real announcement. Unless he's gonna have monkeys flying out of his butt, I am a little underwhelmed.

Maybe he's turning his wife in for a new model. Again.

Uh -- so are artists who get divorces also on the "bad" list. I sort of wish VR would just make up a list of approved artists so we know what the hipsters like. Why so much negativity so much of the time?

I've already said in this very thread that I like and -- in some areas -- respect Garth.

I didn't say that I interviewed him about the time of his first album; was knocked out by the one live performance (at the Pacific Amphitheater) I saw; and have, I think, all of his albums. But it's all true.

You're welcome to be thin-skinned on his behalf, but joking about his marital misadventures doesn't mean I categorize him as "bad." And so what if I do? He'll survive.

And God help me if I ever consider myself to be a "hipster." They don't come much less hip than I aspire to be.

With the dismal performance of the music business and serious lack of anything exciting, you would think the comeback of one of the biggest selling artists of all time might elicit a little bit of excitement. I think the addition of Garth Brooks to the likes of Taylor Swift, Kings Of Leon, Keith Urban, and others will only help a drowning music business, put butts in seats and show the world why Nashville is completely deserving of the title Music City USA. All of you mean, irrelevant people should quit talking about French hookers and monkeys and contribute something worth reading.

He might as well be...because like the teabaggers do to Obama, VR tends to do to Garth: knee jerk sneers no matter what.

In many ways, this explains why the Nashville part of VR is so slow....there are a few "approved" artists and the negativity toward the music of anyone else is palpable.
