Quit bitchin'!!

I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY SICK OF HEARING PEOPLE TALK SHIT ABOUT THE ARTISTS IN MAINSTREAM COUNTRY!!!

Guess what? Every country song ever recorded is available on iTunes! So go download it, and stop listening to the radio if all you're going to do is bitch, moan, and complain about what's on! Or change the station! Either way, PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND SHUT UP!!!!!! I'm pretty sure that Lynard Skynard & Alabama (among others) were given A LOT of shit for their 'Southern Rock' sound back in the 70's. Yet, they've been dubbed two of the greatest bands of ALL TIME. Moral of the story.. Just because you don't like Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Jake Owen, or the music they're putting out... doesn't mean that they aren't great artists who make music that the rest of us LOVE!!

One more thing... growing up, I remember Country Music being a 'family'! What happened to that? When did everybody start being so shitty just because they don't agree with the music someone else makes? Get over yourselves!

He's baaaaaaack! GARTH BROOKS officially announces 2014 WORLD TOUR!

I am the happiest country music fan in the entire world today! Garth Brooks officially announced on GMA this morning with Robin Roberts that he WILL be doing a WORLD TOUR in 2014! With the exception of George Strait still heading into retirement, ALL is right in the world of Country Music! Rest assured that if it takes me selling a damn kidney to see him in concert, it will be done!

In 2000, an emotional Brooks took to the television airways to announce his retirement. Married to then-wife Sandy, he'd decided that he wanted to take on his biggest role full-time as a Dad to daughters Taylor, August, and Allie. With Allie now a senior in High School, and the older girls away at college, he says that he's now just a 'phone call Dad'. And he's alright with that.

Since his retirement in 2000, Garth has played few and far between charitable events. And done one collaboration with 'The King' himself, Mr. George Strait at the 2013 ACM Awards to pay tribute to the late Dick Clark. That night on stage, as he sang his hit 'The Dance', aside from the big 'shit-eatin' grin' on his face, you could the light behind his eyes. At that moment, he was exactly where he needed to be. On stage!!

After a 3 year run of low-key sold-out shows at the Wynn in Las Vegas, Garth has just released an 8 disk box-set that includes not only his biggest hits, but the music that influenced him to do what he does, and be who he is as an artist. And now, with the blessings from all of his girls, including Mrs. Garth Brooks (Trisha Yearwood, whom I'm PRAYING will be on the road with him next year!), he's finally going back to doing what he loves most in the world, besides being a Dad, and that's making and playing music!!

Garth Brooks is responsible for bringing country music to a whole new audience of people around the entire WORLD! He revolutionized so many things about what it means to be an entertainer. In any genre! Having already sold out every single major arena in the world, not to mention playing for over 1Million fans in CENTRAL FREAKING PARK, Garth Brooks is STILL the standard to live up to. Good luck next year Garth and I can't wait to see you on the road!!

Really, really great! I'd just like to say to Miss Jamie Lynn Spears... WELCOME to country music honey! I'm definitely looking forward to what you'll be bringing us in the future!!
