Nah I get why you hated it, most country is utter trash since most of it is Nashville country and fuck Nashville country. Also over the last 10 or so years music streaming has gotten become increasingly ready and available meaning itâs easier to avoid such trash. Though Iâm partial to bluegrass, Reno, and Bakersfield country which have somewhat gone back to their more folkish roots.

So I mercilessly mocked anyone who enjoyed it. âSo is your cousin any good in bed?â âWhat has 103 fingers and 32 teeth? The front row at a Garth Brooks concert.â I have dozens of jokes about being stood, inbred, toothless, smoking cigarettes, going to Walmart, and other stereotypical things associated with being a country music fan.
Iâm still not a fan but sometime in the last 10-12 years or so I stopped giving a shit what anyone else liked. If itâs not for me but itâs not hurting anyone I just donât care if someone likes country or pop, movies with popular actors, wants to dress in a way I see as weird, likes food that I donât enjoy, or whatever.
I wish I could go back and change it because I know I made some people feel bad for enjoying what they like.

To be fair, garth brooks is for people with questionable taste. If the person making the music ISNâT inbred, I donât want to hear it.

Garth Brooks was my personal Jesus (aside from Jesus) as a southern tween/teen, but I still have several bones to pick with him, among them Chris Gaines/The Lamb and a particular Walmart-exclusive concert at which I was the only attendee in my little town, making me feel even more like a total ass. Oh, and this. Yeeeeeah. But deep down Iâm still pretty sure Iâm gonna be in his band one day. And then usurp him as the new Garth.

YEP! I planned around it and my parents agreed to take me. I approached the electronics department of my then-local Columbus, GA Walmart Supercenter expecting a hoppinâ soiree. This is Garth. He doesnât do anything small. HERE. WE. GO! Instead, it was just me. Standing in the electronics department. At Walmart. Watching the âconcertâ on the wall of TVs.
I DEFENDED THAT MAN TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY when he pulled his Chris Gaines/The Lamb schizophrenic breakdown bullshit. He put me in the position of defending the indefensible. âOh, no, you donât understand, itâll all make more sense when The Lamb comes out!â WHEREâS THE FUCKING LAMB, GARTH!?
