[democratisphere]

1. Not a fan of his music.

But I sure am a fan of him.

[Cha]

2. Yeah, I'm not a fan of his music, either, democratisphere..

but the man sure has principles!

Mahalo

[murielm99]

22. I'm not a fan of his music,

but I appreciate him for this.

Also, I listened to him sing at the recent Kennedy Center awards. He is a big James Taylor fan, and he sang Taylor's music beautifully.

[uponit7771]

25. +1

[uponit7771]

26. +1

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

61. Me neither... may have to reconsider after this!

[JI7]

3. he has always leaned liberal

a good number of country musicians lean liberal but i think they aren't as open about it always just because of some of their audience .

there is more lgbt involvement in country music these days also.

[Cha]

6. I know he performed at Obama's Inauguration..

And, the trumps are boycotting him now..

Good to hear about the LGBT movement in country music.

Mahalo, JI7

[AJT]

4. Saw him

Many, many years ago(before he made it big) playing at a fireman's ball in Omaha, what a performer. He is a national treasure.

[Cha]

7. He is a national treasure, AJT.. here he is performing @ Obama's Inauguration..

[spanone]

19. He wrote this hit: We Shall Be Free

"We Shall Be Free"

This ain't comin' from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
When we're free to love anyone we choose
When this world's big enough for all different views
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew
Then we shall be free
We shall be free

We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
'Cause we shall be free

And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there's only one race and that's mankind
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, have a little faith

We shall be free

21. That made me cry... mahalo for his song, spanone.. it's beautiful

Have a Happy Healthy New Year!

[mountain grammy]

40. Like I've said before

anyone who writes lyrics like this can't possibly support someone like trump.

[lunasun]

5. I always liked that song . I can't believe they want him to perform YET call him a country bumpkin

WTF?

[Cha]

12. If he would have performed he would loved but since he

declined.. he's relegated to "country bumpkin".

So glad he's a man of principles!

Mahalo, lunasun!

[LaydeeBug]

8. I can't see either image. :/

[Cha]

10. That's weird.. one is a graphic of trump fans boycott

of Garth Brooks because he won't perform for his inauguration and the other is a Vid of Garth singing Friends in Low Places.

Sorry you can't see them, Laydee.

[LaydeeBug]

11. I see the vid, just not the first pic...thank you for describing it to me. :) nt

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. Garth was my favorite performer at President Obama's first inaugural concert.

He is the father of several, I think 3, daughters.

To my knowledge, Garth is the only performer from that inaugural concert who walked out onstage and made a special point of waving at the adorable little Obama girls.

It was pretty sweet.

And then, he proceeded to blow every one away with his performance.

He is also the author and performer of one of the best songs about love and tolerance since "Imagine". Garth's contribution..."We Shall Be Free". I get chills.

He is a good guy.

[Cha]

14. Brooks is very sweet guy with high principles! I just love him.

And, here he is @ Obama's Inauguration..

Thank you and Happy Healthy New Year, CC!

[Cracklin Charlie]

32. Thank YOU, Cha!

For the New Year gift! I can't wait to watch!

Happy New Year to you!

[Cha]

35. You're Welcome, Charlie!

[Cracklin Charlie]

33. P. S. Cha...Have you heard Garth's new song?

"Baby, Let's Lay Down and Dance"

It's so good!

[Cha]

45. No, but thank you.. I just found it!

[LaydeeBug]

13. Kick and rec! nt

[Cha]

24. Thank you, LaydeeBug!

[sheshe2]

15. I don't know Garth....

Yet I am so loving him.

KnR!

[Cha]

16. Garth is country and a man of principle, she.. he performed @ Obama's

Inauguration but won't perform at trump's...

Mahalo

[sheshe2]

17. Lol....

Is anyone preforming for him or will they just do karaoke?

[Lucky Luciano]

18. I think the karaoke machine will break down before

...it allows itself to be used for the inauguration.

[snort]

20. Preform?

Morons

[brettdale]

23. Gotta love Garth

Been a fan my whole life.

One of the few Male country artists of the modern era 90's and onwards that is liberal.

[Cha]

36. Yeah, Garth's a good guy.. and these trump

fans are pissed @ him for turning down the pervert's inauguration.

[frankieallen]

47. he's a registered republican, but OK.

[Cha]

28. lol.. I hadn't noticed that before.. typical

spelling job then.

Mahalo, snort~

[smirkymonkey]

27. I'm not a country music fan but I do appreciate this man's priciples.

Good for him!

[Cha]

39. Yeah, I don't have to dig his music

to appreciate who Garth Brooks is.

Mahalo, smirky!

[smirkymonkey]

41. Mahalo and Happy New Year Cha!

Let's hope we can make it a better one!

[Mc Mike]

29. Awww. Poor widdle dWumpsters got their fee fees hurt, yet again.

They whine, scream and cry about how oppressed they are, so often, that I find I'm all out of "give a f**k" over their pain.

[Cha]

44. I know, right, Mc Mike!

[Mc Mike]

63. Same old pissing and moaning, day after day, year after year. One trick ponies.

[DrDan]

30. he "refuses to preform" - good grief - does no one proofread these things

[Cha]

59. Guess not.. or maybe they did. lol

[cwydro]

31. "Preform"?

They really need to learn to proofread.

[Cha]

65. lol... exaktly cwydro!

[ismnotwasm]

34. Think I will buy one his albums today.

I don't own any of his music--seems I'm missing out

[Horse with no Name]

56. I've been a Garth fan for years.....my favorite album though is "No Fences"

I wore that one out.

[dawg]

37. Country Bumpkin?

What the hell is it with these elitist east coast conservatives? Always shaming simple rural folk like me.

[brer cat]

38. Happy New Year, Cha!

[Cha]

48. Happy Healthy New Year, brer cat!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

42. Awww some dipshit teabagger trumpanzee doesn't know how to spell "perform".

Haaa. Haaaa!

Garth's music isn't my thing but I like his principles!

[Cha]

60. Hey Blanche! Happy Healthy New Year!

Love Garth even though I don't listen to his music.

[lpbk2713]

43. Minnie Pearl portrayed a country bumpkin but she was far from it.

The last laugh was hers. All the way to the bank.

[shenmue]

53. True

[frankieallen]

46. Garth Brooks is a registered republican.

[Cha]

49. He supports President Obama..

"Yeah, I think what President Obama is finding out is all that we want to do, the system kind of doesn't allow the most powerful guy in the world to kind of do his job and I'm sure nobody's more frustrated than him to complete those promises that he did and I think he's trying his heart out. I love him to death and I fully support him and I just wish him well because it's got to be hell in that office," said Brooks.

[brettdale]

50. He supported President Obama

And when he came to New Zealand in the 90's he said in a interview, he voted democrat.

[JI7]

58. and mike flynn is regiatered dem.

[Cha]

66. Really.. wow.. thanks for that, JI7

[kacekwl]

51. I hear he wrote the song

Friends in low places about trump.

[meadowlark5]

52. Pretty soon these dumbass knuckle draggers will have no music or movies to enjoy

They need to realize most of the entertainment industry won't touch Trump with a 10 foot pole. No one wants that poison near them. And then the knuckle draggers get mad and boycott. Actors, musicians, director/producers. If they keep boycotting because of their faux outrage, they won't have much to listen to or watch. Poor dumbasses

[rzemanfl]

54. The can listen to Wagner and watch "Triumph of the Will" the fucking Nazis. n/t

[wildeyed]

55. Who IS performing?

I saw Twitter Trumpkin going on about how the parade was going to be short to save money and that he would rather have The People there than A-listers (not). So must mean that they got turned down a bunch.

[redstateblues]

57. I know Garth- He is with us

[Crunchy Frog]

62. Guess I'll have to buy something of his.

Anyone have any recommendations?

[brettdale]

64. No Fences

No Fences, Sevens, Ropin the wind.

[lillypaddle]

67. Well, I AM a fan of his music

and of him. And good for him for refusing to give any legitimacy to that moron's inauguration.

[Cha]

68. Good to hear, lillypaddle! I knew there would

be some fans of his on here.

Every time I see his name, though, I have a good feeling inside.

Mahalo ;hi:

[ffr]

69. K&R

To the vacuum that will be tRump's inauguration.

And thank you to Garth for being principled.

[ohheckyeah]

70. My favorite
