Garth Brooks has friends in low places. Some enemies, too, judging by the response to his decision to serve ALL beer brands at his new bar and restaurant in Nashville that will open soon.
When asked if he would be serving Bud Light at his new “Friends In Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk,” Garth said, um, yeah. Why not.
“I want it to be a place you feel safe in, I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another. And yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It’s not our decision to make. Our thing is this: if you [are let] into this house, love one another. If you’re an asshole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”
Cue the thin-skinned whiners, trolls, and haters. That’s all it took to launch a barrage of nasty responses on social media and, of course, an attempt to boycott Garth’s new joint. There’s a hashtag on Twitter called #boycottgarthbrooks that is racking up tens of thousands of views.
One person on TikTok commented that Garth’s decision to serve Bud Light is “making me want to go to Nashville just so I could go ahead and piss on his doorstep.”
That seems a tad irrational.
A Republican politician named Robert Cornicelli, who ran for Congress and lost, posted this bitter comment. “Now I delete every Garth Brooks song from my collection. NEVER AGAIN GARTH!”
To illustrate how unhinged people have become, here’s another comment from someone who wants nothing to do with Garth. “Now I delete every Garth Brooks song from my collection. NEVER AGAIN GARTH!”
Garth has ticked conservatives off before — there was a threatened boycott after he performed at Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration.
Will all this fuss upset Garth Brooks? Well, he’s the second-best-selling musical artist of all time. He has a net worth of around half a billion, and it’s very doubtful this will make him squirm in his overly tight black Wrangler jeans.
