Lee Greenwood, a highly regarded figure in country music, enthusiastically shared with an applauding audience his belief that Garth Brooks should consider retirement. Greenwood expressed his view that Brooks is currently “embarrassing himself,” pointing out that every time Brooks takes the stage, he faces a barrage of boos from the audience.
Greenwood specifically referred to incidents such as the festival in Hambriston, Texas, an unexpected appearance and subsequent sad departure in Oklahoma, and a challenging experience for Carrie Underwood, who joined him on stage and found the reception disheartening.
According to country expert Joe Barron, Brooks has experienced a significant decline in his standing within the industry, going from a top position to a less favorable one. Barron remarked that Brooks’s only remaining positive association is that some baby boomers mistakenly attribute the song “Achy Breaky Heart” to him, which is a rather pitiful situation to witness.
Despite Greenwood’s criticism, Brooks has not responded to the comments.
Panoperspectives.com suggested that Brooks seldom addresses criticisms from what she referred to as “right-wing nutjobs.” According to Newhole, many of these reported incidents are likely fabricated or exaggerated.
Newhole expressed frustration, stating, “No, you stooge. None of it happened at all, and you know it. You just keep making things up.” She also shared her dissatisfaction with this year’s Christmas bonus, which did not include the anticipated Jelly of the Month Club but instead featured gift cards to Target, an option she humorously equated to entering Satan’s lair.
In a humorous remark, Newhole expressed a concern about coming out as gay due to the irony of her situation. The reporter noted the irony of her statement, concluding with a lighthearted “God Bless America.”
