Country star Garth Brooks was scheduled to appear on several shows this week, including Thanksgiving edition of The Tonight Show. But his conscience wont let him do it anymore. Because of
Ferguson?
More from The Hollywood Reporter:
We landed in NY last night to the news of the civil unrest that was going on in our nation. To spend the day promoting our stuff like nothing was wrong, seemed distasteful to me, Brooks wrote in a statement posted on his Facebook page. I will gladly reschedule any or all appearances the networks will allow. Love one another, g
Brooks appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, but that appearance was pretaped. The country superstar was scheduled to appear on Tuesdays Live! With Kelly and Michael, on Thursdays Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Fridays Today.

For his next act, this a**hat will go solar, buy a Prius and come out of closet, then he'll be the complete progressive package, with a country twist.

Well canceling teevee appearances until the riots subside is one way of shutting up about politics.

For a guy who travels the country with armed personal security guards for his personal protection, he’s got some kind of nerve.

How many Ferguson protesters are going to stop their actions so they can go back to watching Garth Brooks play some songs on the telly (if they behave)?

Brooks acts like this is like 9/11, whereas - if the media and race-baiters hadn’t latched on to it - it was a local thug-killed-by-cop story. Much worse goes on in Chicago every week, and Brooks doesn’t cancel his appearances.

Have the Rolling Stones or Paul McCartney had to resort to being on the Ellen Show yet?

No need to boycott, as an entertainer, he should appreciate a staged event such as Ferguson.
