Garth Brooks will play around and have himself, or at least his bar, canceled by the same people who were against the cancel culture not too long ago.
Don’t you think so?
Well, the country music legend got straight into the bud light boycott thing during an interview with Billboard earlier this week. It turns out Brooks plans to open a bar, Friends in Low Places Bar and Honky Tonk, in Nashville soon.
And it sounds like anyone who wants an ice cold Bud Light can get one there.
“I know this sounds cheesy, I want it to be the chick-fil-A of honky-tonks.” he allegedly said. “I want it to be a place where you feel safe. I want it to be a place where you feel that manners rule and people like each other.”
And just in case you don’t think Brooks was pro-bud-light in the debate, there’s more.
“And yes, we will serve any brand of beer,” he said. “We just are. It’s not our decision. Our thing is this: if you’re let in this house, you’ll love another. If you’re a (swear)hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”
Brooks’ bar is set to open in a three-story home with more than 40,000 square feet of land, according to Newsweek.
If you like the beer, drink it. If not, don’t drink it and move on. Treat everyone with love and respect. His message seems sensible.
However, not everyone thought so. Just look at social media, where Brooks’ attitude and nod to making the beer available in his bar really got under the skin of some people.
“What a (expletive) this guy is,” one person wrote.
“Big disappointment,” wrote another person.
There were also many calls to boycott Brooks. But many other fans were happy for Brooks to deliver the message.
“Well done Garth,” someone tweeted.
“(Laugh out loud) at the people who are upset that Garth Brooks is not participating in their anti-LGBTQ bud light boycott. You obviously don’t remember 31 years ago he sang that we will be free ‘when we are free to love anyone we choose’.” wrote another person. “And then performed with rainbow stage lights a few years ago.”
