Yes, it’s true. Pretty soon, you’ll see the mega superstar break his 8 year retirement. Garth Brooks’ name will be up in lights soon at the Wynn Resorts hotel and casino in Las Vegas. He’s planning on breaking his retirement with 15 different concerts scheduled.
It remains to be seen how the country music fan base will accept his comeback. Like many of us, I went crazy for Garth in the 90’s. While all my friends were into rap and rock, I donned my 2 Garth Brooks t-shirts twice a week, each. The guy was electric. The guy was exciting, and his music was good. I would listen to his No Horses and In Pieces albums over and over and over … on my tape deck. So yeah, I guess times have changed a bit. But if history tells us anything, it’s that Garth is a force. He was the one guy that was able to make my dad turn in his Indiana Jones hat for Resistol hats. I’m not saying he looks good in either, but Garth brought a mob of people to the country music scene that never would have been there otherwise. Some people don’t like him for that. Others love him. But as the number one selling solo musician of all time, you have to take notice.
