As we previously reported, Garth Brooks is set to open a new bar, and as expected, he couldn't resist making a politically charged comment, true to his style.

Brooks, the second-best selling musical artist of all time, told Billboard he hoped Friends In Low Places Bar...

Country music legend Garth Brooks posted a picture of himself in a "Sanders" jersey after his packed show Saturday night in Detroit, which created a bit of misguided outrage and confusion online.
