Beerball Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 They were unable to get permits for 3 concerts so they canceled 2 that were permitted. Popular guy over there, 400,000 planned to attend. (I'll have to check w Fergy, but I think that's 10% of the population) http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-07-09/irish-review-planning-laws-after-garth-brooks-mess-kenny-says.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I would never have guessed that 10% of the people in Ireland are Garth Brooks fans. That's really weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 For someone who is very open minded about most things your disdain for all things country is curious.

The Poojer Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 yup...not a country music fan AT all....went through the meta data tags on my music collection and if bands like drive by truckers, jason isbell, old crow, etc had 'country' as a genre, i changed them to something more palatable to me, like americana, alt-country, bluegrass, etc...the alt-country was a tough one for me to accept but i made the exception...but stuff you'd hear on any radio station that bills itself as country is verbotten in my world...just a style of music i will never embrace.

Gugny Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The entire population of Germany thinks David Hasselhoff's albums are pure gold. 10% of Ireland loving a pseudo-country artist with ridiculously limited talent isn't too surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ancestry from both these nations. However, I think both artists mentioned are some whack-ass garbage. The best thing Hasselhoff ever did was try and fail to eat a cheeseburger drunk on youtube. Garth Brooks hasn't done anything that good yet.

Out of all the albums and songs he's recorded, did you know that he wrote/co-wrote 26 songs? And I believe he only wrote 3 or 4 all by himself. Even Paris Hilton writes her own songs. Seriously.
