Brooks’ statement from 1994 was mild compared to the standard liberal rhetoric you hear from entertainment types. However, he would not dare to go much further. Additionally, he is 54 years old, and is 13 years younger than Bruce Springsteen and Meryl Streep. Thus he has much more to lose financially. Springsteen and Streep are eligible for Social Security and have little to lose from angry conservatives, who are likely a small fraction of their customer base. Country music, even the countrified pop music he sings, does not have much of an audience in Manhattan, San Francisco, and such places. The Dixie Chicks mostly tour in Canada, Australia, and Europe these days.

Why would he lose financially by performing at the inauguration? Millions more of Trump supporters would flock to him. I understand Jackie Evancho is profiting nicely from her inaugural gig. He’s a coward AND an idiot.
