re: Did Garth Brooks Rip Country Music's Soul Out?

---

He writes the songs that people want to hear, plays them the way they want them to be played, and is centrally focused on entertaining moreso than expressing himself.

I personally have no problem with this. I'm sure their are a million artists across all genre's that are better at expressing themselves thru music, but that doesn't mean I like it or find it entertaining.

One of my favorites from Garth is called "Cold Shoulder", it's about a truck driver that wishes he was at home instead of hugging this ole cold shoulder. I doubt Garth was ever a long-haul trucker, and neither am I, but still I still like the song.
