Garth Brooks Caves After Backlash To Calling Anti-Bud Light Consumers A**holes

Country music superstar Garth Brooks caved after receiving a massive backlash for calling people who boycotted Bud Light over the Dylan Mulvaney marketing stunt a**holes. Garth said earlier:

“I want it to be a place you feel safe in, I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another. And yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer. We just are.

“It’s not our decision to make. Our thing is this: If you are let into this house, love one another. If you’re an a–hole, there are plenty of other places on Lower Broadway.

Matt Gaetz ripped the singer:

“I’m sure glad we have Garth Brooks to tell us who is and isn’t an asshole.

“Question, tho: Does it make someone an asshole if they cheat on their spouse, write a song about it with their paramour, and then publish the duet with THAT VERY paramour?

“Or does that make for a good person, righteous in their moral preening?”

Last night Brooks was singing a different tune:

“Everybody’s got their opinions. But inclusiveness is always going to be me.

“I think diversity is the answer to the problems that are here and the answer to the problems that are coming.

“So I love diversity.

“All inclusive, so all are welcome.

“I understand that might not be other people’s opinions, but that’s OK, man…

“So, here’s the deal, man, if you want to come to Friends in Low Places, come in.

“But come in with love, come in with tolerance, patience.

“Come in with an open mind, and it’s cool.

“And if you’re one of those people that just can’t do that, I get it.

“If you ever are one of those people that want to try, come.”

I never liked that guy. Or his music. But this?

So I love diversity.

Yeah, he loves it. As long as he has millions of dollars to insulate himself from it. Whenever we've got a hundred million more third world mongrels destroying America, let's see how much these fat millionaires like "diversity" then.

What about a MAP(Minor Attracted Person)? Are they DIVERSE and to be “included”?

Garth Brooks!? All I know is he left his wife for Trisha Yearwood. Don’t listen to his songs and never have.

Heard you the first time, you big, phony ahole. Never liked the abominable emissions you call music anyway. Say, is that a big pork sausage in your mouth or is it something.... else.

“Question, tho: Does it make someone an asshole if they cheat on their spouse, write a song about it with their paramour, and then publish the duet with THAT VERY paramour?

Let me qualify that I think very highly of Matt Gaetz.

However, I think the facts are not quite correct in the statement above. I think honesty is of upmost importance. I don't think Matt lied, he just got the facts wrong, I hope. 🙂

He cowrote a song with his first wife Sandy Mahl. Trisha Yearwood was newly married in her 1st marriage, Garth still in his 1st or 2nd year of his marriage when she & Garth first met in 1987 in a recoding studio when they were working together on a demo at Kent Blazy’s recording studio.

Trisha was married to her first husband, Christopher Latham, from 1987 to 1991, and to her second husband, Robert Reynolds, from 1994 to 1999. Garth was married to his first wife, Sandy Mahl, from 1986 to 2001.

After they were both divorced, Garth and Trisha made their first public appearance as a couple at the 33rd Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards Induction in New York City in 2002. Three years later, the Grammy winner popped the question to the “Georgia Rain” songstress at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, California.

They walked down the aisle in December 2005.

I also hope the source is correct. 🤣

Did they have an intimate relationship while 1 or both were still married, I don't know. But it's easy to assume that was a possibility.

Anyone having conflicting information, please provide it.

Let me add the following also:

Garth Brooks frequently collaborates with his wife Trisha Yearwood, but many fans might not know that he co-wrote one of his biggest hits with his first wife, Sandy Mahl.

Brooks collaborated with Mahl on "That Summer," but only after the original idea that he had started with songwriter Pat Alger didn't quite pan out. In a 1996 television special, Brooks recalled that the original story was about a married woman whose husband is ignoring her at a party, so she goes off and has an affair with a single guy. Brooks' producer, Allen Reynolds, told him he couldn't root for the characters in the song, and Brooks agreed.

I did not read caving in that statement. I read saying the same thing in a different way.

I get your point, but that's the Kennedy Center Honor ribbon. It's been a rainbow long before the colors were corrupted.


December 3, 1978: Fred Astaire was one of the first group of Kennedy Center honorees. Photos from the Jimmy Carter Library.

It was intended to be a high honor for a lifetime of excellent work in the arts. But apparently any jackass can get one now.

I think when they honor 4-6 people, only one can be normal.

What an idiot. If he wanted to serve the Queer of Beers, he should have just said...

“I have patrons that enjoy Bud Light. I’m here to run a bar for a place people can have a good time. I’m not going to get involved in the politics.”

BUT... Nope. Gotta pander to the trannies who don’t go to your bar anyway.

...where's the cave?

It's a couple of hours' drive north of Nashville, in Mammoth Cave National Park.
