I will admit that I have spent many years not being able to stand Garth Brooks - simply because of the get-up he wears and the music he does (I mean, really - how can a Kiss fan turn to the enemy that is country music?? lol). He just struck me as an arrogant wannabe cowboy.
Then he did Saturday Night Live (Maaannnngggoo!!!!!!). O.K., I'll admit it. He was funny. Very funny. The skit where he was 'smitten' by the male dancer was hilarious. The skit where he and several other people were locked in the movie theater for two months while waiting for the movie trailers to end and the movie to start was...a little too close to truth these days, but funny.
Suddenly, it seemed that you couldn't turn around without seeing Garth. Cardboard cutouts; tv commercials, magazine ads, the cover of the local alternative newspaper. This morning he was on Howie Mandel's show and was, yet again, funny. He also seemed very 'real' and personable. He sung a verse from whatever song the audience wanted - and they were good. The words to many of them struck me - especially 'Ireland'.
Am I sick? Yielding to the awesome power that seemingly is Garth? Or am I simply a victim of a media blitzkrieg? Or is my inner demonspawn simply screaming for attention? The world may never know.
