Garth Brooks finally explains why he turned down Trump inauguration gig
Fox News ^ | 1/17/17 | Fox News

President-elect Donald Trump still has a friend in Garth Brooks despite the country singer turning down the opportunity to sing at his inauguration.

Brooks explained he's all about "People Loving People" and is "praying" for Trump but due to a scheduling conflict, he ultimately had to turn down performing on January 20.

I searched FR under Brooks and Garth Brooks and couldn't find any article on this. Just found out about it on F&F.

I call BS. Notice the accolades at the end of the article for odummass.

He is more concerned about his ticket sales than performing at the inauguration.

“People loving people”. He’s the new Bra-Bra Streisand.

No, it's all about gutlessness and appeasement of the fascist left.

Garth Brooks is probably a liberal. However, being an outspoken one in an industry whose audience is middle American would be career suicide, as the Dixie Chicks discovered a decade ago. In other venues like theater, movies, and pop music, there is no real costs in being leftist. Country music is different. So Brooks babbles some pious nonsense as cover.

Chicken. That weasel will feel the effects of his wimpy excuse. Who wants Garth Brooks in their fox hole?

Not a fan..
But don’t really care about his politics.

This is an inauguration not a rock concert.

It’s best he shut up and sing. The rest of us have to go to work to clean up the mess these dirty liberals made.

Another phony C&W (pop country it is today ) who shows their true colors. Sit and whine with the Dixie chicks about the loss of your hero, Obama.

100% correct

I really wish Trump had opted for a much simpler non-ceremony, with a simple swearing in and a getting right down to work. Instead of trying to roll in the mud with celebrity pigs.

“Who wants Garth Brooks in their fox hole?”

Heard one of his songs 10 years or so back and it turned into a sing along at piano bars. I wouldn’t know him if I saw him.

Now, both liberals and conservatives will hold it against him.

Sad that Glen Campbell is no longer able to perform.

For most of the 1960s, Glen Campbell’s brilliant guitar playing was known only by a select few top recording studios and artists.

Long before Glen became known nationally as an outstanding vocalist, actor and TV personality, he was one of the most in-demand recording studio guitarists in the world.

He could have earned a 7-figure annual income as a high-end, requested-for-studio guitarist for years on end if that had been all he cared to do. How good was he? The Lone Ranger! You will enjoy!

Take a look at this video, one you may have never seen before. https://www.youtube.co m/embed/ GUBhE00h9U0?feature=player_ detailpage

Hi Yo Silver, Away! - It doesn’t get much better than this.

“The William Tell Overture” by Giaochino Rossini.

Many of us grew up watching the Lone Ranger and Tonto on black and white television. Years later, many of us watched the Glen Campbell show on TV as well.

Brooksey has always been a flake. Situation normal.
