I know, but even righties like to chew on people with only half the facts.

Faux country can be as lefty as it wants because it doesn’t have to run a farm, drive semi trucks

Back in the day, we used to call fake cowboys, "drugstore cowboys."

To be fair, he was asked but his concert schedule does have him playing Cinci the 21st on through the entire next week.

If I were holding a concert on the 21st, I wouldn’t be so keen on a DC affair on the 19th or 20th.

There’s such a thing as a heartfelt tribute to the cowboy by imitation. But that’s different from being a fake one.

Dunno, really. There are so many details and some are beyond reasonable planning.

Did he fear that his Cincinnati audience might be smaller if he did Trump the previous day?

Playing to the gallery has risks.

Other than his first album, which was pretty good, I always though Garth sucked. Watered down country to appeal to the masses.

I also knew he was big lib. Big homosexual agenda pusher.

Garth Brooks is a fat spineless pile of crap.

So is his wife Trisha. Remember when she pulled out of her Seaworld performance....

Could he send his understudy to the Trump event?

Bull!! This is a chance in a lifetime and he could’ve skedaddled out of DC as soon as his part was finished! FOR eight years they’ve jumped through hoops for the OVOMIT COUPLE FROM HELL....SO No excuse! Where there’s a way there’s a will!

But then, a lot of righties just reflexively pat themselves on the back too.

We seem to have a lot of lack of looking for the upside in things, even troublesome things.

This ain’t like greeting Jesus Christ as He comes. Calm down, Donald is still but a mortal. And he’s going to be lots and lots of places.

I have no problem as long as an artist is consistent and doesn’t play at gala’s for either side.

“he could’ve skedaddled out of DC as soon as his part was finished”

You obviously have no idea the logistics involved in performances. Don’t let your hatred of the left blind you to reality. I would have said no, too, if I had his concert schedule. Many performers said no. Not all can say yes.
