    I’m not a fan of country music, at least not any modern country, but I definitely admire Brooks for taking a bold stance against the hateful mindset that is prevalent amongst what is likely a not-insignificant portion of his fan base. Given the flak that Target and Bud Light have gotten, he will definitely lose fans for this. If this is reflective of his overall character, he probably won’t miss them one bit.

      Garth has a gay family member (his sister), and has taken as big a stance against ticket resellers as someone can. He caps prices for tickets to his shows and often does multiple shows in one visit to a city so demand and supply come closer to one another.

      Garth is definitely “one of the good ones.” Basically everything he does is driven by trying to make as many people happy as possible.
