New wife, new single??

IMO, The stage is set for his return and his everlasting legacy as the savior of Country Music. Mark my words (and I've been saying this for a couple years).

Those of you who worked steadily from 1989 through the 90's had better think long and hard before getting out the flame throwers and Garth Brooks voodoo dolls. I think, this could be, and will be, good for us musicians, if it happens like I think it may.

What year was is when Garth was responsible for like 40 percent of the ENTIRE country music biz!! That has got to be some kind of record.

Hope he does have a come back of sorts. Elvis had one. Ali had one. I am still waiting on Pee Wee Herman.

Now there's a phrase you don't hear everyday and right you are Bill. I missed the tune on purpose yesterday but WSM played a brand new release from him and made it out to be a big deal. So did he marry Trisha Yearwood or what? I always thought there was an affair going on long before his divorce so maybe I was right.

Went to the web-site. Impressive. There's a big "g" that does nothing. Actually, if you rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise, it looks kinda like a lorgnette! That's all I could get out of it.

I was expecting some ominous music...like the "Jaws" theme.

Nope.

Just a LITTLE overboard. Are you his publicist?

I also like Steve's nickname for Shania Twain: "The highest paid lap dancer in North America."

Theresa, I look forward to hearing Rob and Bruce together again, thanks for scoop.

Donny, look again, there's something else on the website. Then ask yourself, why is there nothing else.

Brett, have you ever heard of the idea of "a rising tide lifts all ships?"

When, in the post Beatles/Elvis era was country more popular than when Garth was at the top? I don't know about your town, but around here, in the early 90's, there were 3 or 4 clubs where you could go hear live country music 5-6 nights a week. Now?? One night a week, in one club, no steel, no fiddle.

My point is that if the popularity of country music in general returns to anywhere near the level that it was in the 90's (even half), it would be good for those of us musicians who enjoy playing country music to more than an audience of one.

The "savior" comment is my prediction of how he will be treated upon his return, primarily by the media. I don't have any special love for Garth's music, I enjoy some of his material, BUT what I do have is an extreme appreciation for his impact on the country music industry as a whole.

If you feel like country music is just as popular today, and you have just as many good paying jobs now as you did if you were active in the 90’s, please, let me know.

Well, I looked again. Honest. I saw an arc (is that it?), and I also saw a glaring light (maybe that's it?). But that's about as far as I could take it, even with my hi-tech mouse and a wild imagination. I still don't get the little squiggly "g". Is that his new name??? Prince had a squiggly little thing that looked like a corkscrew. He said he preferred to be called by that (whatever it was) instead of "Prince". I don't blame him. "Prince" is a good dogs' name, but not really a good singers' name.

Anyhow, I thought we had all already agreed that it was Alan Jackson, and then Randy Travis, that saved country music?

Guess some of you missed the vote.

I'm one of the five or six people in the world who actually likes that CD (got it for Christmas one year). I was very surprised when I got it,- "What? Garth Brooks can sound like this???"
Taste is a funny thing.......

I know I for one have not been waiting with baited or any other kind of breath for his return.

Actually, that should be "bated" breath, meaning "reduced, or moderated", rather than "baited" breath...unless, of course, you're like this guy..

What can I say, it's a cold, damp Sunday afternoon and I should be taking a nap.

Perhaps when I wake up this thread will have been rightfully locked up and we can start talking about Kenny Chesney.
